If you already have finished a nurse training abroad there might be the option to start as a nurse or nurse helper in Germany (depending on the question whether your foreign degree will be recognized in Germany). In order to get a recognition, you must have studied nursing or you must have finished an apprenticeship in nursing abroad. If you only have work experience but no degree in nursing then you must go through an apprenticeship in nursing in Germany or start to work as a nurse helper.

During your work time as a nurse helper in Germany our clients (clinics in all Germany) will help you through a process for recognition of your foreign nurse training in Germany, often including additional training to reach the German standards. Be aware that a command of German on level B2 is mandatory.
