Yes, a 3-year gap after completing your GNM is generally accepted by the nursing authorities in Bavaria (Regierung von Oberbayern), provided you can justify the gap. However, it's highly recommended to have valid work experience. If the gap is due to further studies or legitimate personal reasons, you must explain it in your CV.
