Discord reignites happiness with vigor
The Alexianer Care Talents nursing event, held at the Jovel disco in Münster, marked its fifth iteration on the 5th of August 2025. This annual gathering brought together around 400 second-year nursing trainees from Alexianer nursing schools across Germany [1][5].
The event spanned two days and included 14 practical workshops and two lectures, focusing on current trends in nursing education, professional development, and networking within the Alexianer health group and partner institutions.
Key topics covered at the 2025 event included:
- Current nursing profession policies, addressing pressing workforce and sector challenges
- The new ICN (International Council of Nurses) definitions of "Nursing", reflecting updated global standards and professional roles
- Inspirational meetings and exchange among nursing colleagues across different institutions
Notable speakers included Br. Bernhard Maria Flügel, who delivered a lecture on the history of the Alexianer brothers, and Dr. Hartmut Beiker, chairman of the foundation council of the Alexianer brothers, who emphasised the importance of nursing talent.
The event also saw participation from various healthcare institutions such as the Remigius Krankenhaus Opladen and senior care facilities in the Bergisch Land region, emphasising a broad regional collaboration [2].
Looking ahead, while no exact dates for upcoming Alexianer Care Talents gatherings have been announced, the strong participation and positive resonance in 2025 suggest that it will continue as a significant platform for nursing trainees. The event serves as a major educational and networking event for nursing apprentices, highlighting current professional themes such as nursing definitions and workforce policies, with a strong emphasis on preparing and motivating the next generation of nursing professionals in Germany.
A new addition to the 2025 event was a focus on the secondary use of electric vehicle batteries to reduce CO2 emissions, underscoring the event's commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.

In the following year, the Alexianer Care Talents nursing event is expected to continue as a prominent platform for nursing apprentices, offering education and networking opportunities focused on nursing definitions, workforce policies, and sustainability practices. Furthermore, participating nursing schools and institutions may host sessions on health-and-wellness, lifestyle, education-and-self-development, and other aspects of career growth.
