Yuanyuan Jiao

I am originally from Shanxi, China. I am currently in the middle of a three-year training course to become a nursing specialist. I complete my theoretical training at the vocational school of the Bavarian Red Cross in Bayreuth, while I learn the practical parts of my training at the BRK-Ruhesitz, a facility of the Bavarian Red Cross district association in Bayreuth, right next to the vocational school.

It is a matter close to my heart that older people can grow old with dignity and good care. That’s why I decided to pursue a career in geriatric care with the Bavarian Red Cross. In view of demographic change, more and more people are dependent on support, and I want to do my part to provide these people with the care they need.

Training as a nurse at the Bavarian Red Cross not only gives me a fulfilling job, but also long-term security in a growing field of activity. During my training, I experienced how grateful and friendly the patients in geriatric care are. This has strengthened my conviction that I am making a meaningful contribution to other people with my work.

It is a matter close to my heart that older people can grow old with dignity and good care.

At BRK-Ruhesitz, I work with a young team that creates a positive and supportive atmosphere. I previously worked as a teacher in China, and the opportunity to reshape my career in Germany is a special chance. Previous knowledge, professional experience or age played no role here – what mattered most was the willingness to learn. Above all, learning German is very important.

After my training, I would like to continue my training as a practical instructor or complete additional training as a palliative care specialist. Bayreuth not only offers a great working environment, but also a wonderful living environment. The picturesque town is nestled in the countryside and is world-famous for its annual Richard Wagner Festival. The Bayreuth Festival Theatre and the Margravial Opera House are just two of the many attractions that are well worth a visit.
