Hi mhzdominic, thank you for your question on our platform and the information you have already provided.
It’s great that you will soon have B2 level German. In order to work as a nurse in Germany you will need B2 level.
From the information you have shared I believe you can apply for a vocational training as a nurse.
.
In case you come from a country that requires a visa, then you will need to apply for a visa for vocational training.
In order to receive the visa you will have to provide some documents. You will need to have a contract with vocational school in Germany, proof that you can cover your living costs, as well as sufficient German, which you will already have- that’s great!
You will also need all the documents for a so called Type D Visa.
You can find more information about the visa process on our website: https://handbookgermany.de/en/vocational-training-visa#faq_193
and on “Make it in Germany” https://www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/visa-residence/types/training
