Bonner Verein für Pflege und Gesundheitsberufe e.V.

The Bonner Verein für Pflege- und Gesundheitsberufe e.V. is a non-profit organization that has been actively working for years to secure skilled workers in nursing. With over 400 trainees, the association is one of the largest and most innovative nursing schools in the Bonn region and the Rhein-Sieg-Kreis.

• Training: The association offers comprehensive training for nursing professionals and nursing assistants. Additionally, there are preparatory courses in German, system knowledge, and soft skills.
• International Recognition: A significant role is played by the preparation and execution of the knowledge test for foreign nursing staff to address the shortage of skilled workers in nursing through immigration.
• Further Education and Training: Numerous part-time further education courses are offered, such as for area management, nursing service management, or palliative care, to ensure professionalism in nursing professions.
• Case Management and School Qualifications: In addition to nursing training, the association also enables the completion of a school qualification and offers special preparatory courses for external examinations.

The main mission of the Bonner Verein is to offer needs-oriented training and further education in nursing and thus contribute to securing skilled workers in this field. The association places great importance on close cooperation with over 100 cooperation partners from inpatient and outpatient nursing facilities to ensure a mutually beneficial exchange regarding the conditions and requirements for securing skilled workers.

The association is networked locally, regionally, and at the state level and advocates for the social and political recognition of the nursing profession. Supporting migrants in entering the nursing profession and assisting volunteers as neighborhood helpers and patient companions are further central aspects of the work.

The Bonner Verein pursues several sustainable goals and initiatives:

• Securing Skilled Workers: The shortage of skilled workers in nursing is addressed through comprehensive training and further education offerings.
• Inclusion and Integration: The association offers low-threshold entry opportunities for migrants into nursing training and supports them in recognizing their foreign professional qualifications.
• Quality Development: With modern, digitally equipped classrooms and a spacious SkillsLab, an optimal learning environment is ensured. Around 70 full-time and part-time lecturers provide comprehensive, evidence-based expertise.
• Social Recognition: The association actively advocates for the recognition and appreciation of the nursing profession in society and politics.

The Bonner Verein is known for its innovative education chain, which enables nursing careers from a single source. The close cooperation with nursing companies and networking with many stakeholders at local, regional, and state levels contribute to the continuous improvement of training and further education offerings. Regular information events and workshops promote the exchange of information to meet the needs of practice[3].
