40 Years of Nursing in Germany | Ready to Care Since 1974 | Malayalam Language

This episode is in Malayalam, especially for those considering a nursing career in Germany. My mother shares her journey from starting her nursing Ausbildung in Germany in 1974 to spending over 40 years in the profession she eventually grew to love. We talk about migration, integration, raising children between two cultures and languages, and the realities of building a life far away from home. She also shares how her German colleagues played an important role in helping her integrate and feel at home in a new country. The episode reflects on happy and difficult moments throughout her nursing career — and her advice for the younger generation of nurses.
