Authorisation to use the professional title Granting of health and paediatric nurses or health and paediatric nurses from third countries
Description
|
The activity as a health and paediatric nurse or health and paediatric nurse is regulated in Germany. This means that in order for you to be able to work in Germany as a health and paediatric nurse, you need a state permit. With this permission, you may use the professional title "Health and Pediatric Nurse" or "Health and Pediatric Nurse" and work in the profession. Even with a professional qualification from a so-called third country, you can obtain state permission from the competent authority (an authority) in Germany. Third countries are all states 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. 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. Further requirements are, for example, sufficient German language skills and health suitability. If your professional qualification comes from the EU, EEA or Switzerland, different regulations apply. You can also apply for the procedure from abroad. |
