A central part of the course is the practical phases, which take place in various supply areas such as hospitals, nursing homes and outpatient care.

In addition, reference is made to the study -integrating model at the DHBW Stuttgart, which pursues similar goals. This course in applied nursing science is a part -time study that enables flexible compatibility of study, work and family obligations. 80 ECTS for vocational training in a nursing profession are recognized, which allows a shortening of the course. dhbw-stuttgart.de However, the challenges remain on the job market. Despite the academization of care, salaries are relatively low compared to many other professions. Studies show that university graduates do not earn significantly more than classic nurses. As the demand for qualified nursing staff continues to increase, the infrastructure may have difficulty providing sufficient positions for all graduates. These developments indicate the importance of practice -oriented courses that not only offer clarity about professional perspectives, but also contribute to the creation of a solid professional basis.
