Schools for health and nursing in Germany
The framework conditions for the design of a state-recognized school for health and nursing are regulated in Germany in the Nursing Act. If the training in nursing is not further regulated in the school law of a country and has been established at other types of schools (e.g. vocational schools for nursing ), these must be attached to a hospital or at least be connected to it (e.g. through cooperation agreements ).
To gain state recognition, schools for health and nursing must meet the following minimum requirements:
- Full-time school management by a suitably qualified specialist with a university degree,
- Proof of a sufficient number of technically and pedagogically qualified teachers with a corresponding university education for theoretical and practical lessons in relation to the number of training places,
- Provision of the rooms and facilities required for the training as well as sufficient teaching and learning materials,
- Ensuring the implementation of practical training in accordance with the training and examination regulations for professions in nursing (KrPflAPrV) with appropriate facilities (including hospitals , outpatient nursing services ).
In addition, each state government can set up further state legal regulations that determine the details of the minimum requirements. This can relate, for example, to the size and equipment of the school (usually in the form of a state educational institution law ), the binding application of a certain framework curriculum and the selection and definition of certain courses of study to achieve the higher education qualification required by the management or teaching staff.
