Section 66 Nursing Professions Act (PflBG)
https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/pflbg/__66.html
Would you like to work as a nurse in Germany? Then you need a state permit. To do this, you must submit an application and have your foreign professional qualification recognised.
The profession of nurse is regulated in Germany. This means that you need a state permit so that you can work as a nurse in Germany. With the permit, you are allowed to use the professional title “health and nurse” or “health and nurse” and work in the profession.
Even with a professional qualification from a so-called third country, you can obtain a state permit from the competent authority in Germany. Third countries are all countries that do not belong to the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland. In order to obtain the permit, you must have your foreign professional qualification recognised.
Nursing training in Germany was reformed on January 1, 2020 and the new Nursing Professions Act applies. The profession based on this is called “nursing specialist” or “nursing specialist” and is new. There is a transitional period for the recognition of foreign professional qualifications based on the Nursing Act. Until December 31, 2024, foreign professional qualifications may still be temporarily recognized as a registered nurse. The competent authority will advise you.
In the recognition procedure, the competent authority compares your professional qualification from abroad with the German professional qualification and checks the equivalence. The equivalence of the professional qualification is an important prerequisite for the granting of the state permit. In addition to the equivalence of the professional qualification, you must also meet other requirements for the granting of the permit. Other requirements are e.g. B. sufficient German language skills and health suitability.
If your professional qualification comes from the EU, the EEA or Switzerland, other regulations apply.
You can also apply for the procedure from abroad.
