U.S. Nurse needing a job/study opportunities in Germany?
Hi, My husband and I are going to be in Germany for the next two years. I've applied to the military bases in the area we're living, but they only want to hire military wives, which is understandable. So I am wondering about other possibilities...perhaps even getting my master's degree in an area of nursing that I can use when I get back to the States. Any suggestions?

Definately look into that. Try to find out who's hiring there, if there's any possibility in career advancement while you're there. Sorry, if this wasn't very helpful, but I've never been to Germany!

Does German Berufsschule education count in US
Does German Berufsschule education count in US?
I'm from Germany and went there to Wirtschaftsschule/Realschule and then Berufsschule (Industriekauffrau). I now live in the USA and would like to go back to school for a nursing degree. Does my German education count here in the US or would I have to start out new and take a GED test?

since you have an international educational background, you would have to check out requirements for international students on each schools web site. I would recommend calling up admissions and talking to them.
2 :
To get admitted into University you need to have finished high school. You will need to get your credentials evaluated and translated. You do not need to take the GED test. Contact the college first and see what they require of you. Credential Evaluation Services Credential evaluation services provide objective evaluations of the US equivalents of foreign education and work credentials. For example, a credential evaluation service would indicate that the Spanish word bachiller corresponds to a US high school diploma, even though the literal translation is bachelor. Fees for the evaluation of US education credentials tend to range from $50 to $250 per document, depending on the amount of detail required and the speed of response. Some companies will also translate the documents. Others will require that the documents be accompanied by English translations. There may be extra fees (typically $20 to $100 per page) for document translation services. The student is responsible for paying for the credential evaluation and translation fees. The American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) is the national professional organization for admissions and credential evaluation. AACRAO also offers their own credential evaluation service. There is also the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services, Inc. (NACES), a small membership association of private credential evaluation services.

I went to this one. //www.siu-heidelberg.de But i personally do not recommend it because you cannot earn full accreditation if you want to continue your studies in the US. You can also try this one, which sadly i cannot join anymore (I wish i could have know before). http://www.en.uni-muenchen.de/index.html they have great relations with american universities. (Very well known University). The famous and well respected Medical University in Germany is Heidelberg University. http://www.uni-heidelberg.de/ You can even study a semester abroad with this program http://www.heidelberg.edu/ajy/ Also, try //www.studyabroad.com Also, you can try Freiburg University or Rostock University. Those are the only universities that are in my knowledge that have good relation with american universities and the accredditation is valuable in the States as well (important!!!! always look for accreditation!!! S.A.C.S in the most common one) and those universities i mention, have many english-speakers programs to get you started with the regular classes. Contact me if you need more help or suggestions. Good luck.
