If you want to study medicine in Germany, you should know that you have to do a nursing internship in a hospital for three months. It’s a basic requirement to permission for the first state exam. This exam will be written after the fourth semester. In this internship you will be become an overview in the hospital life, and you will learn some nursing skills like measuring blood pressure etc.
Firstly, it’s your choice if you do the internship complete or separate, but you always have to do one month minimum. You can do it before you start your study or in the semester break. It’s advisable to do it before because you can relax in your semester break, and you can learn what you missed in the last semester. Don’t worry, you just do it when you can to write the first state exam.
So you have to apply for an internship place in a hospital. You need to apply: cover letter, CV and actual certificate of enrollment. You preferably send them three months before the semester ends by mail. Furthermore, you also can apply in every hospital you want in Germany. It’s necessary to know that you should be immune to hepatitis B and mumps to prevention your work colleagues and the patients from particular infections.
From my experience I can tell you that the internship is beneficial because you will find out thereby if this study is for you so you will see patients with different diagnostics. You can imagine it like a garden with a lot of flowers and every flower is individual, so you will learn how you care for patients, how you deal with them and how you can bring a good mood despite illness and pains. I also was very happy because I always got detailed answers to my questions and I learned some new skills.
My personal advice for you is when you begin your internship, take a small notebook with. It’s very helpful when you write any new word which you probably don’t know what it’s mean, or you hear about diseases and want to read more about that when you are at home. You additionally have always the possibility to ask the doctors or nurse if you have any question, or you don’t know how to do a specific task. So be kind and always ask when you have a question.

Hi, I am recent nursing graduate from ukraine and i would like to do an internship as a nursing in germany. I am also a 3rd national refugee from ukraine, who was registered in germany but i left due to housing issues.
Hi, an internship is about getting your foot in the door and social networking. As an intern, you have the chance to gain your first experience in professional life. Our website outlines all the requirements for doing an internship in Germany: https://www.study-in-germany.de/en/germany/everyday-life/work/ , and also includes numerous links to job portals. Foreign students should first research institutions and organisations in their home country that act as intermediaries for practical training and find out whether there are programs for practical training in the form of internships abroad. The opportunities and regulations differ depending on country of origin. It is also possible to contact companies in Germany directly. Be aware that it is very important to find out about the work permit and visa requirements in good time. Please contact the German embassy or consulate for information on the current visa requirements. In case you are student at a German university or other institution of higher education, you should contact the Praktikantenamt (Internship Office) at your university for information and advice. You can definitely find further helpful information on the Make it in Germany portal: Nursing professionals (make-it-in-germany.com). For Ukrainian students and researchers, the DAAD offers initial orientation in Germany and in particular in the German higher education and research system. All information and contact details can be found on the following website: Contact - DAAD Ukraine (daad-ukraine.org).

Dear sir/ madam, I would like to study medicine in Germany after I complete nursing studies in Germany. If I complete nursing studies, can I directly get admission to a medical College or do I have to appear for TMS test? Regards Saran Raj.
Hi Saran, If you want to study medicine in Germany, there are many things to consider. First things first: Medicine is not divided into a bachelor's and master's degree. The medical degree which enables you to work as a doctor lasts around six years. Such courses end with the so-called “state examination”. I recommend that you take a look at our website: https://www.study-in-germany.de/en/plan-your-studies/study-options/higher-education-system/medical-studies-and-specialist-training/ There we have gathered more information on the subject. All the best, Your Study in Germany Team
