Yes, in many cases foreign nursing qualifications are recognized in Germany. This is also necessary, as permission to work as a qualified nurse depends on a professional license. If you completed your training in the EU, the EEA or Switzerland, there is usually no detailed review. Your qualification will be recognized within a few weeks. For people from non-EU countries (third countries), an equivalence assessment is carried out: the authority compares the content of your training with what a qualified nurse in Germany has to learn. If there are significant differences, you may have to pass an exam or complete a training course.
