Sina Münsterkötter, 23, completed training as a general nursing specialist after graduating from high school. She now works in the children's intensive care and early childhood rehabilitation ward of a Munich clinic.

Caring for children requires a lot of sensitivity, says the nursing specialist. Her older colleagues taught her a lot, including how to deal with blows of fate, she says. In the series “My First Year in the Job,” young professionals talk about how they experienced this time.
