Tuesday's Shuffle

Tuesday's shuffle: research study/work options in Germany. Cities, courses, universities, jobs

So I have found out today; that it is possible to study and work as a nurse or 'Kinderkrankenschwester' in Germany.  I found a few places near to friends and in a nice part of Germany where I can see myself studying and living comfortably.  There is one problem, which I need to address before I even start to consider where I want to be if I am to start nursing in the future; and that is my Language. I can speak some basic German very well, but I am by no means fluent and this is a must if I am to get onto a nursing course and study in a foreign language. 

This little problem has changed my track a little. So now instead of thinking about where I want to do a course, what the cost would be and when it would start I am instead thinking about how I can become more fluent in German.  Living in England makes practising hard so I've set my self the target of watching the German news online or a German film or TV stream everyday.  I am also researching how I can start a German class or conversation class in England, so I can meet with Germans or people who are learning.

I have also looked into teaching English as a foreign language in Germany, as I am pretty sure that this is a job I could do already without being expert in German.  At the moment I need to save to pay for the teaching certificate, so I have sent an email to my nearest college and am currently eagerly awaiting their reply.  When this comes I am ready for my next decision. I'm also playing the waiting game with another company, waiting to hear if I have been invited to an interview for a second job and tomorrow I will also phone a lady who is looking for an Au-Pair 3 days a week here in England. I'm hoping she pays well and that her kids are super cute then I would be happy to get this new job after Christmas too :).
Keeping track with little steps...
