is there a US military/veterans hospital in Germany?
arent severely-injured US soldiers flown to that hospital in Germany? is there a chance i could work at that hospital? im a 20 year old American female. i want to get my nursing degree, and then join the army as a nurse. do you think id get to choose where i'm stationed? Can i say, "i am interested in working at the military hospital in Germany". ? Also, if they knew i spoke German, do you think they'd place me in that hospital? thanks for any input.

"The Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (LRMC) is an overseas military hospital operated by the United States Army and the Department of Defense. LRMC is the largest military hospital outside of the continental United States. It is located near Landstuhl, Germany, and serves as the nearest treatment center for wounded soldiers coming from Iraq and Afghanistan. In addition, it serves military personnel stationed in Germany as well as their family members. A large proportion of serious casualties from the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters are treated here, flown in via Ramstein Air Base." wiki I don't know where they would station you but I am sure if you got a BSN you could join the Army and I bet they would honor that assignment.

You go where they need you, and they really don't care if you can speak German or not. You may end up at Landstuhl or you may end up at Ft. Leavenworth, or you may end up somewhere else! I'm not sure about the Army, but I know that AF officer corp only stays in place for 2 - 3 years, and the medical corp is not allowed to get an in-place consecutive overseas tour. (IPCOT)

U.S. Nursing schools in Germany
U.S. Nursing schools in Germany??
My husband is in the army and we would love to go to Germany when he gets back from Afghanastan, the only problem is, I need to get into a four year university for nursing. I will be recieving my associates in pre-nursing really soon here, and want to continue on with my bachelors in nursing. I will not have a nursing degree as I have done no clinicals, it is not a nursing degree I will be recieveing only a pre nursing degree. I am wondering if there are any Four year colleges that are in Germany on an Army post that do nursing degrees?? How would I find out more information about this? I want to get a degree and be able to take the NCLEX and still work in the U.S. when we come back?? Thank you for any help or advice I mean it CAN NOT be an online course, I DO NOT have my RN's Licesne at all. Just pre nursing

There are no US schools for nursing in Germany. Do you speak German? You might be able to find a way to enroll in a German University as a foreign student. But then you would have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get your RN in the states. I would suggest you postpone your move to Germany. Finish your education here and get your RN in the states. Then you might be able to work in Germany. But get licensed here.

It probably has to do with the concept of "dual citizenship." That is, depending on which country you are immigrating from, you may or may not have to give up your original citizenship. I know that the U.S. does not recognize dual citizenship, nor does Germany with the U.S., I believe. So, if you are American, you would have to renounce your American citizenship in order to claim German citizenship.

You don't have to give up your present citizenship to live and work in Germany. BUT, it DOES depend on where you are from. And it's not that easy to get a german passport, if you are from the "wrong" country (so to speak, in regards to political relationship to your country). My suggestion: why don't you try to get a job here, and live the life for a while to see if you like it here first? This is a challenge in itself, as you need a residence permit AND a work permit (here you should get into contact with the Auslaenderamt in the area in which you want to live). The german "mentality" is a little different than yours (no matter where you are from). The unemployment is high here, and the hospitals are NOT looking for nurses to work here, like in the States. And the jobs are not as well paid as in the US. It's like a used car: Take a test drive before you buy.

Just go for an Aufenthaltserlaubnis and run it from there. You renew it after the first, third, and 5th year. After the fifth year of continual residence the residence permit becomes permanent if you wish to stay ... which negates the problem of needing a German passport, plus you can always keep the US citizenship and return if you get tired of it. This is what I did ... worked fine, and I came back. All my German friends asked "why dont you get german citizenship" and I responded "because I don't have to, and why should I give up my right to live in the USA at a moment's notice?" Viel Glück!
