Since January 1, 2020, training as a nursing specialist in Germany has been based on the new Nursing Professions Act (PflBG); the qualification is “Pflegefachfrau / Pflegefachmann / Pflegefachperson”. The new training is generalist in nature. The Nursing Act and the Elderly Care Act expired on December 31, 2019. The previous job titles were “healthcare and nursing professional” and “geriatric nurse”. The Bavarian State Office for Nursing compares foreign nursing qualifications exclusively according to the current legal basis (PflBG). Therefore, the professional title applied for is “Pflegefachfrau / Pflegefachmann / Pflegefachperson”.
