Innovative nursing school in Potsdam: Future of nursing education secured!
A lot is happening in the care industry at the moment - including in Potsdam-Babelsberg. The Nursing school of the vocational schools in Oberlinhaus scores with modern and future-oriented training for nursing staff. With the new building, which was moved into in 2024, the training center is one of the most modern in Brandenburg. Headmaster Annett Wiesner has developed a concept that focuses not only on care, but also on integration and an open learning environment.
Generalist nursing training for geriatric, nursing and pediatric nursing is offered here. Health and nursing assistants can also be trained here. The school's inclusive approach is particularly noteworthy: the accessibility of the new building invites people with different learning requirements and life situations. There is also individual support from a school psychologist as well as offers such as the German learning workshop and learning coaching to provide all participants with optimal support.
Innovative teaching methods in the SkillsLab
An impressive feature of the nursing school is the attached SkillsLab, which serves as a practical skills training space. Here, trainees can train their skills in a realistic setting. The space makes it possible to make mistakes and learn from them without risk. The Skills Lab offers a wide range of replicas of nursing care - from geriatric care to pediatrics to intensive care. The use of highly technical manikins and trained actors creates a realistic simulation of complex situations.
“The interaction between theory and practice is crucial,” explains Wiesner. In the SkillsLab, trainees reflect on their own skills with the help of video and audio recordings. In this way, not only theoretical knowledge is acquired, but also practical experience is gained, which flows into later professional practice.
Diversity and collaboration
Another advantage of the nursing school is the cultural diversity among the trainees. With participants from over 30 countries of origin, knowledge is not only imparted, but the exchange of different perspectives is also promoted. This diversity is not only an enrichment for the school, but also for the healthcare system in Brandenburg, where there will be a shortage of up to 44,000 nursing staff by 2030 study shows.
The school also cooperates closely with Christian clinics, the Oberlin Clinic and other care facilities, which gives the trainees valuable professional contacts and internships. The approach of interlinking theory and practice is evidence of a well-thought-out vision that focuses on both professional quality and cooperation. The Wichern plaque 2025 received is confirmation of these efforts and the establishment as a competence center for nursing education.
The nursing school in Oberlinhaus sets standards in the training of nursing staff and shows how important it is to combine innovative teaching methods and inclusive approaches in order to meet the challenges in the healthcare system. Here we are well on the way to redesigning the nursing professions - and with a big wink to the future.
