What does the day look like?
Full-time in Germany is 38.5 or 39.0 hours per week on a 5-day roster in 3 shifts: Frühdienst 06:00 to 14:30, Spätdienst 13:30 to 22:00, Nachtdienst 21:00 to 06:30. Duty on 2 weekends per month is mandatory, with weekdays off in return. Night shifts are banned by law in year 1 (PflAPrV § 3 Abs. 2); in years 2 and 3 you do 80 to 120 night hours in total under a certified nurse.
60% of the shift is physical and clinical work: washing, lifting, positioning, medication rounds, wound dressings. 30% is documentation and logistics: every procedure, observation, fluid balance chart and dose logged in the KIS (SAP i.s.h.med, Dedalus ORBIS, CGM CLINICAL), oral Übergabe at handover, ward rounds (Visite) with physicians. 10% is conversation and psychological support. Treatment nursing covers sphygmomanometer, pulse oximeter, glucometer readings, oral drugs, peripheral IV lines, infusions, subcutaneous injections, sterile wound care, urinary catheters, PEG feeding tubes, and blood and urine sampling.
