Courses
A certain course of education is not required. The training of nurse's aide or for Nursing assistants will, such as the various associations DRC or the Malteser , offered in the form of a course, which is completed with a combined internal audit. The focus is on care for the elderly .
The nurse's assistant courses basically consist of two parts . Several weeks of lessons (total number of hours approx. 80–150) and accompanying or afterwards an internship, mostly in a care facility for the elderly. The content of the training is the imparting of practical skills in basic care, bandages, first aid, storage in the sick bed, handing over food, personal care in bed, etc. Of the 120 hours of the course, 55 hours are practiced in the classroom.
After the course, for example, the participants complete a 14-day nursing internship to consolidate the skills they have learned in practice. A previous professional activity in nursing can partly be counted towards this. The participants do not choose the nursing internship themselves everywhere. It is partly used to finance the course.
The exams are handled very differently.
In some cases, course fees of around € 300 have to be paid; at Bavarian technical colleges they are part of the training in the social branch. In the case of unemployed people, the course fees in the Federal Republic of Germany are often taken over by the Federal Employment Agency as an "orientation measure" to determine suitability for a nursing profession (as of 2006).
These courses to become a nursing assistant are “basic qualifications” for health care and nursing or for specialist health professions . They offer an ideal springboard into the professional world of nursing and medicine, because the associated auxiliary activities allow an insight into the desired professions. There is no entitlement to a specific professional activity. (The Maltese expressly emphasize this on their homepage.)
In addition, from January 1, 2007, nursing assistants in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia can complete an advanced course on treatment care in accordance with Section 37 (2) SGB V, performance group I, and may, for example, change associations in home care if they have the appropriate training certificate and two years of professional experience. the blood glucose levels measured and subcutaneous injections as insulin to give.
Some associations also gain young people through these training courses specifically for their association activities or to provide evidence for funding from the federal government that they are active in the field of disaster risk reduction. These funds may help secure the livelihood of the association. Therefore, a charitable effect of the courses could perhaps be derived.
