The purpose of this column is to present a model for nursing education in Germany based on Orem’s theory. The Orem-based educational model for teaching is a theory-based curriculum. The revised German Nursing Act requires an integrated nursing education curriculum, which means that students should be taught together in courses with general nursing knowledge, and then acquire specialized knowledge in pediatric, adult, or geriatric nursing.
