How do I apply as a skilled worker from abroad for nursing positions in Germany?

Germany urgently needs foreign nursing professionals. BA Fachkräfteengpassanalyse and EURES: According to IAB forecasts, over 500,000 nursing professionals will be needed by 2030. Official pathway: (1) Qualification recognition: Responsible recognition authority per federal state (e.g. Government of Upper Bavaria for Bavaria). Reference: Anabin database of the KMK. (2) German language skills: B2 level minimum, C1 preferred by many employers. (3) Entry: The Skilled Immigration Act 2023 has accelerated processes -- professional recognition visa is possible. BMAS coordinates nationwide placement programmes. Best channels: Triple Win Programme of the BA, direct approach to large providers (Caritas, Diakonie, DRK), medi-karriere.de. MuSchG and BEEG: Family and parental rights apply from the first day -- including for foreign workers. Caveat: Bureaucracy is time-consuming (6-18 months) -- start early.
