    Opportunities for Indian Nurses in Germany

    The official language of Germany is German and common people do not understand or use any other language including English. Since German is generally not taught as a second language in schools in most third-world countries like India, German language-speaking foreign nurses are not adequately available to meet the ever-rising demand to handle the increase in the elderly population in Germany / Europe.

    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, a 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.
