Bockhorst enthusiastic: Syrian burger integration without limits!

Haus Hasch, 28876 Oyten, Deutschland - In Oyten-Bockhorst, the food truck "Sususan Burger" has entered, which is not only enthusiastic about freshly grilled burgers, fries and churros, but also as a "success story of lived integration". Kreiszeitung reports that Abdulrahman Sanadiki, the operator of the food truck, came from Syria to Germany seven years ago. As a pharmacist, it was important to him to be independent in Germany. In the meantime, he is employed as a nurse in the nearby Hasch and quickly integrated there.

Abdulrahman met his wife Uyen Duong in the Haus Hasch, where she also works as a nurse. Uyen, who came to Germany in 2019, had to have her qualifications recognized in order to be able to work in her profession. Together they made the decision to become self -employed with their food truck. The truck is open daily from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. (except on Mondays) and offers a piece of home in the form of culinary delights.

variety in care

The integration of foreign nurses in Germany is associated with a wide range of challenges. According to nursing--ulterseinuf.de are language barriers, discrimination and cultural differences only a few hurdles that need to be mastered. While cultural diversity is considered an opportunity, nursing staff often complain about a lack of appreciation and inadequate in communication.

In 2022, around 244,000 foreign nurses in Germany have already been employed-a doubling since 2017. A third of the members of the PKM community reports on a multicultural team, while 72% of communication problems. Employers should therefore increasingly offer language support and intercultural training to facilitate integration.

acceptance and recognition

The need to recognize foreign degrees is another big topic. bpb.de emphasizes that many immigrant nursing staff are placed on the basis of the expectations and the high pressure that are placed on them. There is also a clear lack of specialists in the nursing industry, which is expected to further tighten in the coming years.

In 2022 there were an average of 100 jobs for registered nursing staff, but only 33 unemployed. This could lead to a supply gap of almost 500,000 specialists by 2035. The shortage of skilled workers is described as one of the greatest challenges in German care. In order to meet this, immigration also plays a central role.

The “Triple Win” project has been recruiting nursing staff from non-EU countries since 2013 and emphasizing international diversity in nursing practice. Unfortunately, around 10% of immigrant nurses are considering leaving Germany, which is often related to dissatisfaction and discrimination. In order to meet these challenges, sustainable strategies for the integration and support of immigrant nurses are essential.

Abdulrahman, Uyen and Mehdi Abedini, another employee from Iran, who supplements the offer with homemade ice cream, show how successful integration and cultural diversity can lead to an enrichment not only in gastronomy, but also in the nursing sector. The Haus Hasch, which has been employed by specialists and trainees from abroad since 2018, relies on diversity and promotes successful integration, which could pave the way for a positive future.
