I would like to foreign exchange but...?
I'm a junior in high school, but will be graduating early and going for nursing. The school im going to has foreign exchange opportunities, but not in the country i would like to go to. I want to study abroad in germany for one year. Is it possible to still go to that college but study abroad through some organization, and if so what organization?

Often, there are programs available that aren't THROUGH your university, but your university will accept credit from. Talk to the foreign exchange office there for particulars.

Are you looking to do a college program in Germany? I'm afraid I can't address that - perhaps someone else can. You can skip the rest of my answer. If I may make a suggestion - do a "gap year". This is a program for recently graduated students. It's fairly common for European students to take a year between high school and university. Which ever program you choose, make sure the organization is listed with the Council for Standards on International Educational Travel (csiet.org). They routinely audit programs for quality. If I may, I would like to cast a vote to going with Youth For Understanding (YFU). I am a 5-time host mom and volunteer with YFU. When I have asked exchange students why they chose YFU, I get the following answers: (1) YFU gave them more bang for their buck and/or (2) someone they knew and trusted recommended YFU. 95% of the fees collected by YFU go for direct program costs (airline tickets, support in hosting country, etc.). YFU has been around for 59 years and has learned how to make exchanges successful. YFU does have a gap year program to Germany. (http://yfuusa.org/countries/germany-14.php) The deadline for applying for this program is April 1. Good luck to you no matter what you choose!

Question one is grammatically correct. Question two would make sense if it read: Would it be discounted as we are buying in such large quantities? 3. He proposed that I should work in Germany as a nurse. 4. I don't quite know what you want to say on this one but I will make a guess, He proposed to take the rest there for me. (We would normally say 'He offered to take the rest there for me.) 5. I proposed to him that I would reduce the loan or I proposed to him to reduce the loan. 6. I proposed to his that the loan should be reduced. Hope this is some help to you. English can be confusing. We use proposal i.e. My proposal was that we should reduce the loan. and offer - I offered to reduced the loan for him.
2 :
1. Would "there" be a discount since we're buying in such large quantities? 2. Would "it" be a discount since we're buying in such large quantities? 1. is correct. 2. is not correct. It should say, 'Would "it" incur a discount since we're buying in such large quantities?' 'It' implies 'the sale'. 3. He proposed me to work in Germany as a nurse. incorrect He proposed that I work in Germany as a nurse. 4. He proposed taking a rest there to me. incorrect He proposed that I rest there. 5. I proposed him to reduce the loan. incorrect I proposed to him that the loan should be reduced. 6. I proposed him that the loan should be reduced. incorrect I proposed to him that the loan should be reduced. It might be better to use 'suggest' rather than 'propose'
3 :
Better choices: Would a discount apply since we're buying in such large quantities? He proposed that I work in Germany as a nurse. I proposed that he reduce the loan.
4 :
Sentence 1 is correct. You just don't say, "Would IT be a discount" in sentence 2. 3. He asked me to work in Germany as a nurse. 4. Huh? He suggested ....not sure what you're saying! 5. I asked him to reduce the loan. 6. I suggested to him that the loan should be reduced.

A cicillian nurse is one who is not joined to the military, so just a normal regular nurse.
2 :
a civilian nurse is a nurse that's not in the military. it's a friggin nurse.
3 :
A civilian nurse is a nurse who's a civilian, not military. Payment is based on experience, level of education, and place of employment. Contract, from my understanding, is mostly for travel nurses.
4 :
I think you are meaning civil service nursing?
5 :
an RN who isn't in the military.
6 :
All Nurses are the same. Same schooling, same degree. A civilian Nurse is not in the military, a military Nurse is. Either one can work where ever there is a need for a nurse. Say that three times.
