as much as I know, there is a campus on Ramstein Air Base. I've heard about people taking classes. Don't know which college and if they offer nursing. But I can tell you this. Public college in Germany is held in German. You won't do so well, if you don't speak the language perfectly.

I don't know about the classes they offer on base, but nursing is nothing that you will be able to study at a German university, as in Germany, nurses become nurses through apprenticeships. Depending on what school diploma you have (Hauptschulabschluß, Realschulabschluß or Abitur), you will take a three year or a two year apprenticeship program. That is, people apply for an apprenticeship in a hospital, and if they get the job, in the first year they go to school (Berufsschule) on several days a week, and than in the last year they only go one day a week. I don't know which German school diploma a High School diploma equals to, most likely a Realschulabschluß/ mittlere Reife. Working and school language would be German, though.
