Can a medical assistant work in a psychiatric office?
As a MA in a psych office you would not be seeing patients, so you would not need a psych degree; and a psych aid usually works in patient. However, unless there is more medical type care going on, a psych office may not need a MA, especially doing "back office"--so you might want to think this through a bit more if you want psych and MA.
How can I go work in Germany, as a nurse?
Do you want to work for the American government or the German Government. Your license does not count on the German economy, and you probably would not be very happy doing so. Nurses are subservient to doctors there. You will not start IV’s or draw blood. The doctors do it. You will be a blue collar employee with no patient nurse ratios and no formal regulations to protect you. They do not, but are just starting to look at developing professional organizations.If you are looking to work as an American government nurse in Germany(on a base) you need to apply on a government job website. You will not be their first choice unless you can claim spousal preference, you are a disabled veteran, veteran, or already in the government system working as a GS Nurse elsewhere. When I lived in Germany it took 2 years for me to get a job on base. I had spousal preference. There were approximately 270 Nurses living in that area who were unemployed. Work on your resume and submit it to the government site The Federal Government's official employment siteGood luck
What's the salary for a nurse in Germany?
Edit: Question was moved from “What’s the salary for a nurse in Germany?” to this more general one. Hence, the added note: This answer is for the situation in Germany.A2A, and answering because Michael’s answer is from 2014.Big salary comparison website gives a pretty wide range of €1,715-€3,534 gross / month (self-reported data, so take it with a grain of salt).Source: Das Gehalt als KrankenschwesterThe standard entry-level salary seems to be €2,000-€2,300 gross / month. Source: Krankenschwester /-pfleger - Gehalt & VerdienstThe same source also states that this mostly counts for the public hospitals. Private hospitals might have their own ranges (probably not too different).During training (3 years), you get €950 gross / month in year one and €1,150 gross / month in year 3.Of course, there will be typical geographical differences, correlating with cost of living. I.e. Munich cost of living and salary will be higher than rural Mecklenburg Vorpommern.Also, there’s likely to be different ranges for different types of nurses, and of course different levels of experience and qualifications.

Since Brexit, only 47 overseas nurses have registered to work in the NHS. Last year it was 1,370. How will the NHS cope?
Not true…. There has been a 96% drop in nurses applying from the EU, NOT from overseas. Eu staff make up between 5 and 10 percent of foreign workers coming into the NHS (it depends on the hospital). The vast majority of medical staff coming from overseas to work in the UK are from places outside the EU.My experience of working in this industry suggests there are far more coming from Africa and India alone than from all the EU countries combined.10% is significant, but not catastrophic. A small across the board pay increase would make those positions up from domestic and further afield labour markets instantly. Health workers are notoriously poorly paid in the UK. It is high time their value was recognised anyway.Recent changes in legislation have included a requirement to speak English to a certain standard. African and Indian people looking to work here often speak better English that Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Dutch or Swedish people. It is very likely THIS has caused the drop, not the looming likelihood of Brexit.
What ASVAB score do you need to become a nurse?
Nurses are not enlisted and thus do not take the ASVAB. Nurses are officers and must have a BSN in hand before they can seek a Commission.
