Course contents

The course introduces the examination framework conditions and the handling of exam questions. Additionally, it includes practical and theoretical exam training, including hands-on guidance in the Skills Lab. The course begins with a language support unit, "German for Nursing," specifically designed to practice professional situations in a nursing context. The course is structured into various modules that comprehensively address complex nursing situations. These situations are embedded in different settings, such as inpatient acute and long-term care, geriatric care, psychiatric and neurological care, pediatrics, and outpatient care. Critical life situations and the final phase of life are also covered. Legal foundations and nursing concepts complete the preparatory course.
