This article contrasts two ways of recruiting international nursing staff for the German labour market – professional recognition in conjunction with a training measure and repeat training in Germany. An analysis based on expert interviews shows that individual prior experience, the cultural environment of the country of origin and the personality of the foreign skilled worker are all crucial in terms of recommending the more rapid route of recognition or the comparatively more secure pathway of new training in Germany.
