In recent years, the nursing profession in Germany has faced a talent shortage and high demand. The German government and healthcare organizations are taking measures to increase the number of nursing professionals to address the pressures of an aging population and the rising demand for healthcare services.

• Germany has a high level of welfare and a sophisticated social and legal system with standardized social benefits and paid leave. The maximum weekly working hours are 40 hours, and overtime is compensated as additional work. Weekends and public holidays are paid double. Moreover, you are entitled to 24 to 28 days of paid annual leave.

• The working conditions are relatively straightforward compared to China. Nurses are also among the most respected professions in Germany. With a 89% approval rating, they rank second on the list of most respected professions, even ahead of doctors. There is no high patient volume, no unexpected overtime, and, most importantly, no complicated and tense doctor-patient relationships.

• Additionally, the salaries of nursing staff in Germany are comparatively good compared to China: According to the latest statistics, the average monthly salary of nurses in Germany is €2,452. Due to the worsening shortage of nursing staff in Germany, calls for salary increases are becoming louder, and the salaries of nurses in the federal states continue to rise year after year.
