by 2030 and it's committed 4000000 people in germany will require long term medical care but there aren't enough doctors nurses and other professionals to deal with this situation medical trainees from vietnam might help ease the shortage. it's monday morning in the neurological ward of the rostock university hospital. where the 2 apprentices to do an t. quinn are helping a patient. both have already completed training as nurses in their home country of vietnam nevertheless much is new to them. and asked them. during my training in vietnam i gave injections or i put in drips. but washing patients or giving them food that was done by other workers in germany

the nurses to perform these tasks therefore trainees from vietnam have to complete the full 3 year training program once again. while. cycle of the us economy. the student nurses are prepared for the german system as part of the training program in their home country still it's not easy for the 2 women. that got us out of this. it's a very different dialect than the one i've learned. there are many words i don't know and i'm just learning i had a lot of difficulties at the beginning. resty. $300.00 vietnamese trainees have come to germany under the economics ministry scheme to be enemies apprentices are welcome after all they bring a lot of experience with them. but it challenges the mentality words like yes and no don't have the same meaning in vietnam as they do

in germany. co-workers have adjusted to this after all there are workers from over 40 nations in the clinic. as we have want us here in the nurses station we have on gary ins we have people from bosnia we have macedonians we have one person from syria so it's very very dim colorful here on the nurses' station here because that's. currently the last batch of the program is finishing up the 1st year of training in future clinics will have to arrange the employment of vietnamese workers themselves. and finally we travel to russia which has always produced some of the world's finest ballet dancers we meet one young man who finally made it onto the big stage through talent and discipline and a lot of hard work. in the class schedule it's called dance
