RN in Mannheim, Germany?

Question

If I had an RN license (working on it right now) could I work in Mannheim, Germany and make the same amount that I would make living in the US? because I know that nursing graduates in germany don't make as much as they do in the US! and I've heard of the american military bases that they have in mannheim, Germany...I am a US citizen...please give me real answers no stupid answers this is serious thanks

Answer 1

I live in Baumholder, Germany on a US Army post, Mannheim is about an hour away from here. Well there is no hospital on base, there is a clinic. Luckily for you, if you want to work in a hospital, Landstuhl hospital (largest armed forces hospital outside the us) isn't to far.  It's only like 30 min from where i live.  You would make fairly decent money as nurse working for the army, they call them army civilians.  I can't remember the exact website for the job listings..but google something like chrma...or charma..its a listing of jobs for the armed forces in europe and us...

again, you could always work at the clinic on Mannheim, i am sure they are in need of Rn's..or you could come down to baumholder, we always need more nurses here!

hope it helped!

Answer 2

Firstly I would contact the US Army and ask if you could work for them and what the rules and regulations are.

As for the German job market

have a look here maybe they can be of more help
