Many Indian nurses dream of working abroad:for better pay, better hours, and a better life.
Germany is one of the best countries for nurses today. The healthcare system there is strong, the salaries are much higher than in India, and nurses are treated with respect.
The good news? You don't need any work experience to get started.
Even fresh graduates can begin their journey, as long as they're ready to learn and follow the steps.
Let's walk you through the process, step by step.
To work as a nurse in Germany, you need:
That’s it. No hospital experience needed. Even if you’ve just finished college, you can apply as long as you hold a GNM or B.Sc in Nursing.
This opens the door to many nursing job opportunities in Germany for Indian nurses, even if you are just starting out.
To work in Germany, you need to speak German, it’s a legal requirement. All hospitals & nursing homes ask for B2 level proficiency.
BorderPlus offers German classes made just for nurses. You’ll also learn about German culture and hospital life, so nothing feels new or confusing when you move.
Many nurses worry about the language, but with the right training and practice, it becomes easier.
Once you have completed your language training, you can attend job interviews.
But be careful.
Many agencies say they will give you a job, but they don’t have real hospital contacts. Some only teach you the language but don’t help you with interviews or moving to Germany.
So look for a reliable Germany nursing recruitment agency that will help with everything, like BorderPlus.
At BorderPlus we give you:
Even if you’re a fresher, hospitals are happy to hire you, especially if they see that you’re serious about your training and ready to relocate.
Once you get a job offer and your documents are ready, you can apply for your German work visa.
BorderPlus supports you through this step too, helping you fill the forms, prepare for your embassy appointment, and even plan your accommodation and travel.
Most nurses move to Germany in 12 to 18 months after starting.
After arriving, you’ll begin working in a hospital. If your recognition is still pending, you may work under supervision or in a support role at first.
Once you finish your adaptation program or pass the test, you’ll get your full German Nursing License. Then, you can work as a registered nurse with full salary and benefits.
You’ll also meet many other Indian nurses who made the same journey, some of them through BorderPlus.
You don’t need experience. You don’t need to pay agents blindly. You just need the right support, good language training, and a little patience.
At BorderPlus, we’ve designed everything to make this journey clear, honest, and step-by-step especially for nurses who are just starting out.
If Germany is your goal, we’re here to help you get there, the right way.
