Nurses in Europe are educated very differently than here in the US. You will likely have to go to nursing school again, at least for the second year. I have heard of state nursing boards granting LPN licensure to foreign nurses but you have to submit all of your education for review. Nurses here in the US do a lot more than nurses in Germany. We are extremely autonomous and do IVs, ports, medication administration, G tubes, central line dressing changes, manage vents, etc.
Contact the state board of nursing in the state you want to work. They are more than glad to help.
