No. You must first submit an application for recognition as a nursing specialist. The reason: In order to be granted a partial professional license, the differences to the German training must be so significant (“large”) that the adaptation measure would be equivalent in scope to the regular German training (§ 48 a Para. 1 No. 2 PflBG). In order for us to be able to assess this, an application for recognition as a nursing specialist is required first. If the application assessment reveals a correspondingly large need for compensation, the following options are then available: Completion of German training, application for recognition as a nursing assistant or (in exceptional cases) application for permission to partially practice the profession.
