Chinese nurses acclaimed for empathetic care abroad

After working for more than a year in Germany, Chinese nurses have been widely acclaimed for their job performance, although they had to overcome difficulties in language and cultural differences, said a spokesman for the program.

Marcel Schmutzler, a press officer with the German Federal Employment Agency's International Placement Services Department, told China Daily that statistics show Chinese nurses received positive feedback from their employers.

"They've shown their high professionalism and ability in interaction with patients in their care," said Schmutzler.
