JOBS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Why Germany?

The German government has announced 13,000 more jobs for hospitals and care homes, but there is still a shortage of qualified medical staff. Germany faces a massive lack of medical care personnel, which means many hospitals are overburdened. Currently, roughly 1 million people work in the country's nursing industry.

It is projected that 3 million nurses will be needed by 2060, given Germany's aging population. In late 2015, there were 2.9 million individuals in need of care. By 2030, this figure is expected to rise to 4.1 million.
Currently, an open nursing position remains unfilled for an average of 171 days, the worst average among all professions. The number of people requiring old-age care continues to rise in a trend that is expected to last until 2060.
The share of geriatric nurses from abroad has likewise been rising for years and is currently at 11 percent.

To meet this great demand, well trained Indian nurses are now welcome to work in Germany. what they need, is a university Bachelors (B.Sc. / M.Sc. or PBBSC) or (GNM with 3 yrs experience) in Nursing, a few years of work experience (optional) and of course, German language certificate till B1/B2 level. Another requirement is regarding the clinical work experience (expressed in work hours) the Indian Nurses should possess in order to have full registration as a nurse.
