With the new German Nursing Care Law (2004) some structural changes of nursing career were processed by the Federal Government. The reforms base un debates conducted since the End of the 1980s. They include a more general view on the concept of health care jobs in Germany. The Workshop attributes a significant contribution to this debate. Six speakers will open an historical perspective on nursing from Ancient World to Present Day. Their presentations include theory and performance of job-training, as well as the basic studies and further education of nurses.
