YOUR NEW LIFE IN GERMANY

The fair and ethical recruitment of nursing staff from abroad is very important to us. We are committed to adhering to general codes of conduct. These include the "WHO Global Code of Conduct for the International Recruitment of Health Professionals", the "International Convention on Human Rights" and ILO requirements for fair recruitment. The great thing about it: the process is free for you . We do not charge placement fees for caregivers.

Unfortunately, Germany has a dramatic shortage of nursing staff. As a result, there are a lot of vacancies and nurses from abroad are desperately needed. The perfect time to come to Germany and work. Germany offers many benefits, such as good statutory health insurance, high salaries through collective agreements, minimum vacation, overtime pay and much more.

In the vast majority of cases, nursing staff from abroad start out as nursing assistants. After an adaptation measure and successful recognition, you can work as a nursing specialist.

The recognition authority checks whether you can work directly as a nursing specialist or whether there are still deficiencies in your German training. If this is the case, you will receive a deficit notice. This notice includes all deficits that you then have to compensate for in Germany through an adjustment measure.

With an adaptation measure you can compensate for the deficits compared to German training. There are two types: adaptation course or knowledge test. When you attend an adaptation course, you learn theoretical and practical knowledge in a nursing school. This duration of the course is based on the deficits in your deficit notice. With a knowledge test, you can prepare for an exam independently or with the support of a preparatory course. The knowledge test consists of a maximum of 4 modules and can be repeated once. You have the right to choose. We and your employer will inform and support you.
