Specialized health and nursing staff
Specialized health and nurse is a further training occupation in the German health system . Due to the need for specialization in various areas of health and nursing care , calls for further training for nurses were loud in the 1960s, analogous to developments in the Anglo-American and Scandinavian countries . The first advanced training courses for anesthesia nurses were launched in 1964, advanced training for psychiatry followed in 1968. In 1971, the German Hospital Society (DKG) published the "Recommendations for advanced training as a specialist nurse". In 1974 the German Society for Specialized Nursing and Functional Services (DGF) was founded, which made recommendations for the "Framework for further training in the various fields of nursing" published by the federal states in 1975, in which the duration and requirements of the final examination were specified. Before the introduction of the new occupational title of health and nurse or health and child nurse in 2004, the occupational titles of specialist nurse, specialist nurse, specialist nurse and specialist nurse were common.
requirement
The prerequisite for access to further training as a specialist health and nurse is permission to use the professional title of health and nurse, nurse, nurse, health and pediatric nurse, pediatric nurse or nurse. Work experience is no longer required since 2009; you can therefore begin advanced training immediately after completing your training. However, some specialist training centers require six months of practical experience.
