When a patient worries you at night: call the doctor with a clearly structured report.
Herr Falk macht mir Sorgen.
Frau Dr. Mertens, ich rufe wegen Herrn Falk an. Die Sauerstoffsättigung ist auf 88 % gefallen … Sollen wir den Sauerstoff nach Anordnung erhöhen, und könnten Sie bitte vorbeikommen?
And to Mr Falk himself, you explain “Exsikkose” (dehydration) as zu wenig Flüssigkeit
. You practise turning your concern into a complete SBAR report, with the readings, your assessment and a clear request to the doctor.

How you train with KlinikDeutsch
Talk to your patients
The virtual patient answers out loud. You speak into the microphone or type: admission, nursing assessment and questions about how she is feeling.
Hand over with SBAR
In the simulator you hand over every case to a colleague, now in professional language. In lesson 4 you call the doctor at night.
Write the nursing report
Write 60 to 80 words with one care goal and two interventions. Use specific feedback to improve your next version.
Ask Nurse Marlene
Your interactive learning coach answers your professional questions on every case. You can also ask her in your own language.
14 ward cases + exam simulation
Every lesson is a ward case, with a patient conversation, handover and nursing report. Plus a core terminology module with 117 words to listen to, abbreviations and a cheat sheet.

How to plan your learning
14 cases, one exam simulation and a core terminology module
One possible study rhythm
First you listen to a conversation and collect key phrases. Then you practise yourself in the simulator. In your next session you write a text and use the feedback. Finally you repeat the case as an exam situation.
You learn in separate units: for example a conversation, a writing task or a review. You spread a complete case over several study sessions. Your prior knowledge and your reviews set your pace.
Your monthly price
€39 a month for the digital professional German course. You decide how long you subscribe. The exam centre charges its exam fee separately.
Your FSP preparation
You prepare for the FSP for nursing at B2 in Bavaria. There, the FSP is offered as an alternative to recognised B2 language certificates. Your recognition authority confirms the right proof for you. Official exam information.

What nurses ask us most often
Is this course for me if I am still below B2?
Which language certificate counts in my federal state?
How does the exam work?
The exam lasts 60 minutes and mirrors a working day: first the patient, then the team, then the desk. Three parts of 20 minutes each, as set out in the official Bavarian sample exam:
Part 1 · Patient conversation · 20 minutes
You talk to a patient on the ward, for example at admission, in words she understands, calmly and clearly.
Part 2 · Conversation in the team · 20 minutes
You hand the case over to a colleague, now in professional language, for example structured with SBAR.
Part 3 · Writing · 20 minutes
You write a nursing report on a given case so that the next shift can carry on straight away.
You train exactly these three parts in every lesson, with a timer and feedback, and all in one go in the exam simulation at the end.
