Bavaria has one of Germany's most acute nursing staff shortages — BA skills shortage analysis 2024 and EURES 2024 confirm: Bavarian care facilities are urgently recruiting. Particularities in Bavaria: Major employers are Caritas, Diakonie, BRK, municipal providers and private clinics — collective agreements vary significantly. Many positions are advertised on krankenhausjobs-bayern.de, medi-karriere.de and via the BA job board. Recognition of foreign qualifications: The regional government (Regierung von Oberbayern, Niederbayern etc.) is responsible. MuSchG and BEEG: Maternity protection and parental leave regulations are particularly relevant in nursing — clarify these before signing a contract. Caveat: Shift work and weekend work are standard in nursing — allowances are regulated by collective agreements (TVoD, AVR).
