20 years of St. Elisabeth Academy: Celebrating diversity and nursing education!

On June 20, 2025, the St. Elisabeth Academy in Neuss will celebrate a very special anniversary - 20 years of successful training of nursing staff. The academy has established itself as an integral part of the region's educational landscape over two decades and is known for its practical training and empathetic approach to nursing. The motto of the anniversary is “Together!”, which underlines the increased diversity, the lived togetherness and the continuous development in the academy, as lokalklick.eu reports.

With over 500 trainees currently learning at the academy, it is clear how popular nursing training is here. Headmaster Monika Huth emphasizes that the diversity in the staff and among the trainees creates an inspiring space for learning and personal growth. “Our mission remains to provide nursing education with heart, mind and attitude,” continued Huth.

Practical training in modern rooms

The St. Elisabeth Group campus offers modern, technically equipped classrooms that help trainees gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. In addition to classic nursing training, there is also training for nursing assistants and specialized programs in pediatric nursing and geriatric nursing. Particularly noteworthy is the special teaching station, which enables trainees to directly link theory and practice, as can be found on the Elisabeth Group website elisabethgruppe.de.

In addition, trainees are prepared to master the challenges of an increasingly multicultural nursing environment. The academy not only promotes professional knowledge, but also social, ethical and intercultural skills. This aspect becomes increasingly important as an increasing number of people with a migrant background require care, which will increase the need for culturally sensitive and diverse care. Dealing with interculturality is therefore also covered in further training courses in order to meet the specific needs of those in need of care, explains euroakademie.de.

A training with a future

All training courses have been state-recognized since 2022 and are offered free of charge and remunerated. This also applies to progressive training paths such as the dual bachelor's degree in applied midwifery science in collaboration with the Catholic University of North Rhine-Westphalia and the dual nursing degree with the Bochum University of Applied Sciences. The St. Elisabeth Academy is positioning itself not only as a training facility, but also as an important partner for health professions in the region.

With a growing staff and a diverse range of training options, the St. Elisabeth Academy is setting an example for the future of nursing. Respectful and open interaction within the institution promotes an inspiring learning climate that helps trainees to optimally promote their individual development.

Overall, it shows that the St. Elisabeth Academy not only educates, but also imparts values ​​that are of essential importance in nursing. In this way, the academy makes an important contribution to a responsible and humane nursing culture in the region.
