Question for Germans or people living in germany?
I am interested in moving to Germany and working as a nurse, obviously I will have to speak German fluently and apply for a work visa, ect... My question is what is the job market like over there? Would I as a foreigner even stand a chance getting a job?

Nurses are very much needed but be aware the money you get for the job really is hard to live on. I join the website of the German Arbeitsagentur Nurse in German is Krankenschwester in case you need the word. That said depending on your citizenship the visa can be a problem too.

Okay, so i am planning on going to nursing school in 2 years. I am taking the pre reqs now.?
I am taking Biology and Math (algebra). I am originally from germany and i am having a hard time understanding basic highschool biology. We are only on chapter 3 but i am already lost. If i am already having problems now, how am i going to understand the harder classes like Anatomy and the actual nursing classes. Should i look for a different career?

Talk to your instructors NOW so they can help before you get in any deeper. I would suggest a tutor and a study group as the additional instruction and sharing ideas can really help to clarify the information. Don't give up until you have genuinely exhausted the methods available to help you learn the subject.

Talk to your instructors and check into getting a tutor. Also look into a study group with your classmates. If Nursing is in your heart, keep trying and studying. it's hard work to get through Nursing school, but once it's done....it's awesome! Good luck.

I'm from Poland, and I have been here for 15 years in United States. I use to speak German too... I lived and went to German High School. . . but listen closely I am a graduate of Ohio State University in major in Comparative Literature, and currently I finished my first year in nursing school. I am graduating from nursing school in summer of 2008, and let me tell you all this stuff is really kicking my butt, anatomy is basically problem solving and memorization, even if you don't do well your first time around, if you take it again, you will understand it at some point. Nursing is not only science but you will be challenged to the bottom of it. Its not to do well in high school. take at a local community college during the summer where you can concentrate on one class that prepares you to think like math and science. Chapter 3 is confusing? Grab partners people from your class, stay after class, ask million and a half questions, get into study groups, find tutors etc.. be involved in each class... and most importantly listen in class...I struggled with that concept half of my life

Does anyone know how I should proceed
Does anyone know how I should proceed?
I'm an Air Force wife and we're stationed in Germany right now. I wish to become a nurse, but can't get a job without any degree in the nursing field and can't take any campus courses. I am with Kaplan, currently, getting my degree in Medical Assisting. Does anyone have any better suggestions for me on how to reach my ultimate goal of becoming a RN? Would a physician's assistant be a better online option or should I stick to medical assisting? Or should I chart a whole new course? Thank you in advance!

I think that first of all, don't settle for just anything. I mean, don't just chart a whole new course if your heart is really into the medical field. Secondly, maybe you should stick to medical assisting FOR NOW, only until you are able to take more courses to achieve RN status. Who knows? You may decide you really like med assisting (or even something else) and then you won't even have to worry about it! :)

There are no Physician Assistant Programs that are Online. Physician Assistants are Trained medical professionals and most programs are Masters Degree Programs. Which is much more advanced training than an RN. Check out aapa.org to see what a Physician Assistant is.

What is the best way for an American to sponsor a nursing student in the Philippines? Set up a scholarship
What is the best way for an American to sponsor a nursing student in the Philippines? Set up a scholarship?
I know many people that have sent money from other countries (US, Germany, England) to the Philippines to send their relatives to school (typically nursing school). I'd like to know if there is any sure way to to send funds the right places. Is there some kind of service that does this? Should I sent up a scholarship fund? Unfortunately money sent to PI often goes into a blackhole.

I don't think you can set up a scholarship fund, it's just not safe out there to do that. The schools can get greedy. what you can do prolly is ask the person in the Philippines to open a bank account preferrably HSBC, Banco de Oro or BPI, then make a wire transfer from your bank here (Bank of America maybe). Of course there would be a fee for that. I have sent money to my relatives out there that way. I have Bank of America and they have Banco de Oro. For more info go to bacodeoro.com.ph
