Germany school offers free tuition for Filipino nursing students 

I am telling you our nurses are topnotched when it comes to providing care and performing medical procedures. I have been hospitalized in another country, and I the experience you get from Filipino nurses is so much different. I hope we continue to enhance our curriculum and training to take advantage of these opportunities.

Remember: The education for nurses in Germany is vocational, not at a bachelor's level! If you ever plan to work elsewhere, it can be quite challenging. Additionally, the cost of living in Germany and the associated taxes are substantial. Make sure to thoroughly inform yourself before making any decisions. There are several other drawbacks to consider as well.

I'm also studying in Germany in a University free-tuition. Mostly of public Universities here are free-tuition not only for nursing but also other courses. Pumunta ako dito sa Germany ng walang German language certificate kasi ang napili Kong course ay in English. Dito na ako nag start aral ng German na libre din, mag level B1 na ako ngayon awa ng Diyos sana makapasa. Hindi na rin nag require ng IELTS saakin ang University. Nag DIY apply lang ako. Dumadami na rin kaming mga Filipino ngayon dito sa University na pinapasukan ko kasi madali lang makasok and online application lang lahat. Pero hindi po nursing ang course ko.

the interviewer is doing a good job asking key question that needed for anyone interested for the wonderful offer from German School

Thank you so much Germany!!! 🇩🇪

Thank you Germany for recognizing our nurses and giving free tuition.

i hope the phil. govt will be as much aggressive as germany in supporting not only these nursing students but everyone who wants to pursue college studies so that young people can be more productive and be inspired to aspire for higher goals in the academe and citizens

“TENDER, LOVE and CARE! “That’s the brand name of Filipino Nurses all over the world. 😊👍

Many commented that the interviewer is annoying and seems talking to a deaf person 😊. Truth is, very clear. He is adapt ing to his guest's pacing. He is doing great in this interview ♥

Thank you so much Germany 🇩🇪 🤍 🇵🇭

Filipino Culture is beautiful. They are caring, compassionate, hardworkers and God-fearing people.

Thank You Germany for offering pilipino youth the free education for nursing.❤❤❤

Thank you so much sir Adrian Heimerer god bless you more 🙏😇❤️

@Rico Hizon: although they are given high salaries we have to factor in cost of living in Germany.

I can't blame Filipino nurses na naga-abroad. Sobrang bongga talaga ng offer nila samantalang dito jusko, bare minimum.

Yeah I am currently enroll now as a nursing Student here in Germany but it's really challenging because of the language barrier 😢 but what is advantage you receive 1,000 euro a month as a student and free tuition the most highlight

Foreign languages should be a requirement in Filipino schools. It's a no brainer because Filipinos are in demand abroad. One would think that the goverment would do it already. Being multilingual is beneficial in many industry and depending where you are, there are incentives. It is especially beneficial in the medical field.

Pls research. Germany is one country where locals do not have to pay for education tuition. For foreigners there is a tuition but minimal. So there is really no cost. This initiative covers only the other costs like accommodation but the visa sponsorship is what attracts Filipinos. Language B2 is professional level. Lower level is A1 depending on visa type. These requirements are standard requirements to work there. 🤔

Yes salary are big but minus tax, housing and other bills are big. In results you only earn like you work us a nurse in the Philippines living in ghe provinces. Like here in New Zealand ,i have 4k plus NZ dollar per month, but my house around $500nzd per week the cheapest rent. $200 gas per week, $100 for food for week, $80 internet a month. In total you just earn a $800-1000 a month. Plus Power ,Water and garbage .only around P20k -35k pesos depending on the jobs. Only Better if both you and your wife have a jobs so that the thos expenses will divided into two, than living alone and rent solo a house. Most our families and relatives, think it will automatically you earn a P180 PHP but its not, the cost of living are high. The only good things are the benefits depending on which country you are into, and the most important are there is no Age Discrimination for any type of jobs.

I'm a nurse in Germany, Nursing Education & Training in the Philippines is way better than Germany. It is worthier studying Nursing in the Philippines.

Don't forget that's only Gross Salary. One must consider the tax, the rent and other living expenses here in Germany. Germany is good. But for younger people with money in the Philippines, take this opportunity only as second option. For people like me with not enough privilege, this is the best option.

This is a win win move for germany as well us filipinos, thank you for this iopportunity ❤

Nursing Schools in the PH should offer German Language as an elective Course. Nursing students -- if they learn to SPEAK & UNDERSTAND German dito sa Pinas -- can continue studying in Germany. Even BS Nursing graduates dito sa PINAS should study German -- during their free time, so they will be accepted for IMMEDIATE WORK in Germany. Ja, ich bin Pinoy und ich spreche Deutsch.

In few years time, PH will have a shortage of nurses, and I I think there will be someone from the congress who will make a bill to ban the exportation of nurses due to the shortage of nurses in PH

Just saying.... Cons: The nursing curriculum in the Philippines is higher than in Germany. How? In what terms? The nursing curriculum in the Philippines is acceptable globally compare to Germany that you are only limited or allowed to practice your nursing career in Germany and other neighbouring European countries. A German registered nurse can pursue Bachelor's degree of Nursing in University in Germany for another year or 2 with C1 german language level and once finished you will now eligible or acceptable to work globally such as US, Australia, Canada etc. Pros: As we all know, nursing study in the Philippines is very very expensive when it come to tuition fees, miscellaneous, books, equipments needed in clinical etc. it will cost you like more or less half a million pesos just for you to stud nursing. In Germany, you need to pass first the german language B1 level and while you are studying Nursing, it is free and at the same time the government is giving you an allowance and you are also receiving a salary from the hospital or homecare where you are doing your practicals or your clinical duties.

If they offer scholarships for student nurses in the Philippines tapos dito pa rin sila mag-aaral, that's good. Since walang maiiba sa training at exposure nila. But if they're suggesting that these students go to Germany to study Nursing, I'm not quite sure about that. What makes Filipino Nurses stand out is their training here in the Philippines. In developed countries, they have sophisticated equipment to help them with their work. Kaya resoureceful ang mga Filipino Nurses dahil dun.

Hope they just don’t just keep on converting salaries to pesos. Consider the NET pay also and cost of living there. Conversion to php doesn’t make sense if you live overseas due to high taxes and pension cuts from the total salary. These are approximately 30-40% of the salary.

Ang ganda na talaga yung mga ugali natin sa ibang bansa sana.. we can maintain it kahit all of this good offers. And home sickness, mabuhay po tayo and thanks to god for what we are now!

After nag pagkasabi ng salary ng convert agad sa peso sana inask din muna tax after nung salary like pros and cons at least to prepare. Dahil ung sahod need din nila gamitin sa Germany like house, electricity and food, Specially now the struggle in Europe is the cost of living akala lang ng iba malaki pero pag nandun na halos walang natitira kahit anong tipid dahil sa mahal ng gastos.

Excellent interview on a very important learning and earning opportunity. Of course, the most important thing is learning the language and the culture. Some simple German songs can be introduced in elementary and high schools with their translations as a form of familiarization. This news is quite encouraging for those who want to be nurses in Germany.

I was a Caregiver for both my parents and dealt with them for years. I observed, and prefer them. They're extremely hardworking, and are not lazy. They're kind, and caring Christians. They're not rude, or crude, and don't have a nasty attitude. Give me doctors, nurses, and other medical staff from the Philippines. I also gave birth at the hospital, and came across some very angry nurses.

a bit worried on this. learning from here vs learning from abroad will be different. 'germanized' filipino students might not get the genuine experiences that local nurses are getting here and thus might lose those traits that the world loved so much of us filipinos. praying for the best of outcomes on this great opportunity for ph nurses.

Dapat nang ayusin nang Phil Government yung pagpapasweldo sa mga nurses natin. Unti unti na silang nauubos dito satin 😊

Thank you sumach all over tha wold deferent pepole kindly,respecteve in ench ather pilipino pepole is respect frendly

A former nursing instructor and nurse in germany here... Another catch: 1000 euro is not enough when you will be paying for your own apartment. Specially in Münich wherein you could barely find a 1 bedroom apartment that costs less than 1000....better study Nursing in the Philippines for 4 years (our curriculum is one of the best). At home, you will not have problem paying for your apartment and budgeting food. All you needed to do is focus your studies. After you graduate and acquire your license, you can finally decide which country would you wanna go. Graduating in the Philippines gives you a Bachelor's degree that could land you in any country. Whereas in Germany vocational course xa. Nearby neighboring countries who speaks German lng ma acknowledge ang diploma mo..

Thank you Germany for helping the Filipinos.

The salary in Germany is not that big unlike in the USA or Canada, but the healthcare and the opportunity are really there. I mean you could find more work as possibilities of elevating your career to the next level with of course the help of their government.

To learn German language is more harder than studying Nurses, I guess 😂😂

Wow Germany thank you for giving this opportunity to the Filiponos.

Pag Pinoy talaga masipag magtrabaho lang unlike other countries na mas preferred talaga mag business. kaya country of laborer Tayo ehhh. Pilipinas lang talaga AYAW mag adopt ng "Work smart" and "generate income wisely". Congrats Parin sa mag apply. Free Tuition pa

Free tuition is the hook. The cost of living will kill you.

Thank you so much Germany!❤

After that Pandemic Everyone respected Filipino Nurse

That's good. If they go to German 🇩🇪 schools they are more likely to pass Whereas in PH 🇵🇭 the nursing licensure passing rate is only about a third.

Mabuhay Germany ❤❤❤

ung 3000€ brutto nasa around 2000€ netto pag single ka. magrent ka pa, food and other miscellaneous. siguro may 1000€ parin savings mo pag magaling ka magbudget. carry na yan. wish mo lang na may enough kayong staff sa pagtatrabahuhan mo dahil nga palagi silang kulang. lalo na mga pag nagkasakit at nakabakasyon na colleagues. pero sa mga batang aspiring nurses, di pa yan sila mareklamo. kaya kulang nurses dito dahil nga sa situation na maliit ang sweldo, mahirap ang work kulang ang staff. madami magresign at ayaw na magnurse. matira matibay nalang. burn out at stress kalaban mo din. 3000€? napakaliit para sa nursing abroad. sana 3000€ nalang sa pinas 😂😅

Filipino nurses are made to serve the world. 🗺️

wow, ang SWERTE-SWERTE ng mga kabataang nangangarap na magiginng NURSE in the future! GOOD LUCK to you all, Filipino youth...

Thank you Germany 🇩🇪

Wow! Amazing opportunity for Filipino nursing students 👏👏👏

Our legislator must pay attention about this coz our country needs health care professionals too.Maybe our gov’t. must offer free medical educations too ,total eradication of corruptions our country can support free educations in college and universities.

Thank you Germany!❤

Danke schön Deutschland. Naging RN ako sa germany for more than 2 years. Annerkant na ako as RN sa germany "fachmann" . I can say germany is very good country. Free tuition ng college, free healthcare . May allowance din ang anak niyo 300-350 euro each month. Mataas ang tax pero sulit ang binabayad mo. Napaka safe and mgnda ang bansa nila

how to avail this one po? they should've added contact information and other important details.

Praise God and Grateful to God to you and ur family Sir Adrian and God Bless ..🙌❤👏🙏

He did not mention about the taxes and living expenses like food accomodations.

Also, what's impressive with Germany is that their universities offer free tertiary education especially for their citizens.

after about 20 years …there goes the demand for nurses all over the world again . Nurses should take advantage of this now before the demand goes down again.

Germany is my dream to work as caregiver ❤.

I hope the 1k euro per month salary they are offering the employer should cover the board and lodging, food expenses, transpo. and health insurance. Otherwise you will not survive with just that amount here in Europe. I live in the Netherlands and minimum salary for nurses here is 3,800 euro to 4k euro per month. I hope the German govt will be fair with the salary they will give to our hardworking fellow Filipino nurses.

German does the same for Brazilians. My niece is in Berlin doing that.

Wow this is promising for those aspiring Filipino who wants to become nurses. This is a great opportunity for our kababayan.

3,000 euros or P180K ang pasahod nila doon sa Germany. Mababa yan kumpara sa nurse sa US. Dito sa US sumasahod ung nurse from $6,000-7,000 a month or P325,000 up for every 2weeks lang yan . Kasi every 2weeks pasahod dito.

Thank you germany ! German people are good people.

Wow…Germany is the best. ❤❤❤

To Pinoys interested, calculate the cost of living in Germany before you jump in. Is the school covering the board and lodging too of the students?

Thank you so much Germany ❤

That’s great. They need to do the same here in America

I’m currently working in Germany. 3k Euros as mentioned, I think is gross income. The german tax is also soaring high. Usually nurses take home around 2,200-2,300 euros as net pay depending which state and city you are located.

Forget about being a Nurse in germay. I'm telling you. If they need Pinoy nurses, they should offer scholarship here in the Ph. Mas okay pa curriculum natin sa kanila. we need jobs pero mas need nila ng Pinoy nurses. Sila mag adjust,

Kung skilled worker ka. In-demand ka sa Germany.. Kulang na kulang sila dyan, kahit simpleng pag repair lang ng pinto di sila marunong kaya marami nghahanap dun

Wow Philippines is the # 1 nurses in the world 🌎 thanks 🙏

3, 000 euros brutto , netto 2, 000 euros rest , taxes, foods, housing accomodation , flat where you live , insurances , more region , cities in germany high standard of living ( single rented if you are lucky 500 .00. To 600: 00 euros monthly , (together with light ) clear it first all the expenses all in all ) b4 applying,

Downside is the nursing profession in Germany is just a vocaltional course so if you are planning to work in another country after studying in Germany then you’ll have a big headache because you’ll be needing a professional license.

I tried to study german language, it's so hard!!!

I've been working with Filipino nurses in Germany now for about four years. They all received their education in the Philippines, though. From what I have experienced, their adaption to Germany, and conversely also their acception by Germans, is by far much easier than that of other non-European immigrants. The theoretical knowledge of Filipino and German graduates is pretty much on the same level, but there are differences in practical experience. German nurses seem to have more practical experience on first glance, but it is rather based on basic nursing activities, like washing or mobilizing patients. Filipinos complete more tasks which in Germany are usually restricted to doctors only, such as taking blood, or prescribing simple medication. Personally, I highly doubt that working as a nurse in Germany is better than working as a nurse in the US, I rather think the opposite. From what I have heared from others, also Filipinos, it is about similiar to nursing in the UK, and better than in the Middle East (SA and UAE). Don't know about Canada or Australia. About a German nursing (non bachelor) degree, it can be a little challenging being accepted abroad at the beginning, but it's not a severe problem.

Well, 3000 Euros a month is really not a lot to live in Germany... and you have to take into account income tax as well... so with that money, you may be well to do in the Philippines. But since you'll be living in Germany, you'll just be getting by.

This is a good one for those who wants to take nursing in germany.

A good system. It's an opportunity for aspiring Filipino Students based in Philippines to try out the German system....

Wise din and system ng offer nila...ang kalati ng oras mo sa school at ang kalahati ay sa ospital...Ang sahod sa Germany ay siguro nasa 2k euro or more...parang binabayaran mo rin ang pinaaral sa iyo pero ayos din yan...kasi pagnakatapos ka siguradong bibigyan ka nila ng pwesto sa mga ospital nila..

Why don't these countries invest in OUR schools instead so that they can also help our country and not just drain our talents for their own use? I am thinking that they are discounting the fact that the training that our nurses get in the home country also contribute to how they perform - they are more mature, confident and emotionally ready to face the challenge. Just my opinion.

Excellent decision for the economy. They need this in the us.

German Language is not easy. Im on a b1 level and im currently working and studying at the same time (will take the telc exam later this year).They did not disclose that there would be several deductions on your pay so it's not much (Ok na din kesa sa Pinas).sabi nga ng mga pinoy na nauna smen, laban lang kahit hirap sa language. Sana makayanan ng powers ko 😭

This is great...specially to those who cant afford to finish education here in the philippines....for me its highly recommended not only because of money matters but to d higher educational system that germany could offer...

Sa mga may concern, if sapat na ang 3k€ given na may tax at insurances pa na binabayaran. I would say yes, kasi practically bulletproof ka sa Germany (e.g. nagkasakit/nagsakitsakitan ka, sagot ng insurance, sick leave sagot ng kumpanya and/or ng insurance, nawalan ka ng trabaho, sagot ng insurance up to 12 months habang naghahanap ka ng work, nanganak ka sagot ng insurance ang sahod mo max. 2 years maternity leave plus may child benefit pa) so practically di mo need ng savings, not to mention 30 days vacation leave and 27months makapag apply ka na for PR (EU blue card visa), bigay mo nalang sa mga parents mo sa pinas 😂

swerte ng mga kabataan ngayon ang daming opportunity..noon dyoskolord wlang libreng college magkanda kuba ka muna sa pagiging working student halos walng tulog..sobrang inggit ko talaga sa mga kabataan ngayon kaya nagagalit talaga ako sa kabataan na sinasayang ang panahon sa bisyo..

As a native English Speaker, I found German easier to speak better than French. It is very Start-Stop, rather than words Flowing into each other. A long time ago, I did German O-Level, passing with a Grade A; and could have maybe passed into A-Level (High School), if I had not done Science & Maths. Tuition paid, and opportunity to earn 1000 euros a month, means good for any fiances / girlfriends, with a guy who can work in Berlin (which has a budding crypto industry).

philippino ladies are well mannered, and mostly highly educated.

I just realized how bad Rico is in interviewing. lol hui let him speak naman, you're putting words in his mouth 🤣

Nagwork ako sa Germany. Half ng sahod mapupunta sa Tax, tas 1k p sa rent at mga expenses. Wala n po natira

Great interview!!!

€3,000 but your housing,food and taxes excluded.The cost of leaving in Germany are high.

Good Germany !!! Filipinos are good caregiving nurses, more compassionate !!!

Nostrification is the process called here in Austria, where you have your credits as nurse in Philippines accredited and the rest of the subjects that are not available you have to study them. Once you passed them, you will be able to work. In Austria they are in need of medical staff as well. Sadly not everyone is opt and fit for nursing and work in the medical field. Sayang ang opportunity sa mga nasa eu na na ayaw mag nurse.

Wow it's really a good news..I hope I can still apply to study I'm 45 already but willing to study again

3000 Euros a month is about half the wage of a nurse in the US. Also, in the US hospitals will pay nursing assistants to complete nursing school. So getting the visa is the obstacle.

Compared here in the US it’s about half 6,000 USD though the upside in Germany is that you don’t have to pay for anything except studying hard!

This is good offer specially for those ppl that cannot afford tuition fee in the Philippines but the best nurses go to the U.S though I like the German ppl. Their ambassador in the Philippines is my patient n we talked a lot about the German government program n he said very few ppl are applying because our priority is going to the U.S n he knew I was already U.S license working in a top notch hospital

Free tuition is offered for all international students not just students from the Philippines

Yung May dream .. please learned the language Philippines EDUCATION should consider include the Language in curriculum and try the best adapting international standard specially we have the ability yes na Maka adapt easily patience lively yan gusto nila sa mga pinoy. Ang problem Lang minsan yung mga curriculum ntin di up sa standard nila at wala sa curriculum niLa kya mag arak ka ulit yon minsan nahihirapan ang pinoy . Pero gooddluck sa May plan ..ready nyo rin self ang weather . Germany is best place po to work Medco lonely pero kaya as long u keep in touch with your family and make friends sa Germany .
