Defizitbescheid Process for Indian Nurses

Understanding the "Deficit Notice" for your nursing recognition in Germany.

The Short Answer
Required for all Non-EU Nurses

Detailed Explanation

When you apply for nursing registration in Germany, the authorities compare your Indian nursing syllabus (GNM/B.Sc) with the German syllabus.

They will issue a "Defizitbescheid" (Deficit Notice) listing the theoretical or practical hours you are missing.

To overcome this deficit, you must complete an Adaptation Course (Anpassungslehrgang) or pass a Knowledge Test (Kenntnisprüfung) in Germany.

Prime Step handles your entire Defizitbescheid application process and matches you with a hospital that sponsors your adaptation training.
