You could work on your general education courses through the University of Maryland. As far as attending any German nursing schools, how good is your German. http://www.stripes.com/article.asp?section=104&article=36866 http://www.nursingschools.com/cgi-bin/schools/search.cgi?siteId=nursingschools.com&country=DE

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.

Any tips for flying with a breastfed infant
Any tips for flying with a breastfed infant?
My daughter is 4 months old and we will be flying back to the States from Germany. How can I make a comfortable nursing position for her?

1 :
use a breast pump and give her your milk through a bottle
2 :
take a pillow....That should help
3 :
take a cushion or a boppy pillow with you... the arm rests are normally quite hard so it'll probably help her get comfortable.
4 :
I always loved my Boppy , used them for my last two children. Always had a comfy spot for them with it!
5 :
Football hold or maybe across your lap the "old fashioned" way if you can drape something across you. Maybe one of those pillows to help boost her head and make a comfy nest. I breastfed my kids, but please remember not everyone is comfortable seeing it in public. It wouldn't be terribly inconvenient to drape a light blanket across the view during feeding times.
6 :
I dont see the problem. I dont think it would be hard to breastfeed in an airplane seat. maybe you could borrow a pillow from the airplane staff. they usually have pillows for travellers.
7 :
i flew when my daughter was 3 and half months to dubai from England. I didnt really no what it was going to be like and was worrying but DONT worry at all. I took a couple of books and toys with me a muslim to cover up and the staff and the aeroplane equiped me with a cushion. If when you check in get the front of the cabin, which they normally do anyway with babies. I fed on take off as she does not use soothers and then just fed whenever she wanted, so she didnt scream the plane down, but she was quite chilled out. You should be fine the airpline will provide you with the things you need. For the position it was the same as normal but in a smaller seat but worked out of for her and was not to cramped.
8 :
take a boppy or a pillow to help prop her up with.
9 :
It's difficult because you need both wings to fly. Your best options are either to make sure she is sucking hard enough to hang on until you arrive or alternatively you could fly upside down so she doesn't fall off.
10 :
I flew alone roundtrip from NYC to Honalulu with my son when he was 7/8 months. Since the flu outbreak they aren't keeping blankets on the planes usually now.. so you will want to bring your own light blanket. My son was rather large at this age... almost 22 pounds and very long. I was nervous about positioning as well. It's good to try to get a window seat I think. If I was nursing on the right side I turned my body a little to the right. This gave me a bit more modesty (as much as you can have with a large baby, lol) and his legs could go forward a bit instead of to the side. We just used a normal nursing position (head rested on crook of arm) as usual. I'm rather thin so this worked well for me. Really though, the seats aren't too narrow for nursing normally, even in coach I didn't have a problem any position. I always made it a point to let my neighbor know I would be nursing him on take-off and landing so that it was out in the open. It helped me to feel more comfortable as well and if someone was going to be shocked and appalled they could figure out their situation before we took off. In Europe this might not be an issue too much... but in the states some people seem to be very disturbed by public nursing for some reason. Anyways, hope this helps! Make sure you nurses to help with air pressure changes! รข™¥

Coming from experience... take a pillow and a lightweight cover. Not only will the pillow help with nursing, but it will also help your arm strength in holding the baby when they fall asleep. The cover is for privacy. Also, bring an extra small blanket or burp cloth to roll up and place under your elbow for extra cushion or elevation.

You need to contact the board of nursing in the state your license is/was in to see what they require for reinstatement. The board of nursing either in your state or in NC can give you a list of approved refresher courses.
