Hello everyone, my name is John, filipino citizen, currently working as a registered nurse(Annerkant) here in Germany since 2016. I would like to ask if anyone here know the steps in processing the recognition of papers so that I can work in Switzerland as a nurse. If someone know the processing of papers, or can recommend a swiss employer that can help me process my papers, please message me. that will be a great help, thank you in advance.
Welcome to the Forum.
Check out this thread. It's big, but it's full of information:

Aside from the qualifications issue, please note that being resident in Germany doesn't give you any special permissions to work in Switzerland. As a non-EU citizen, any potential employer would have to prove they cannot find a Swiss, EU, or non-EU already here on a valid permit to do the job.
Hi , thank you so much for your reply,
I already have B2 certificate (pflege) and my papers translated in german. I just want to know the process or steps on how will be the papers recognized. I also have my German urkunde as Examinierte Gesundheits und Krankenpfleger. I just don‘t have any idea on where to start. Thank you
3wishes is talking about a work and resident permit. You will need one for Switzerland as your German one is not valid here. Do you have one?
I can‘t process a working or resident permit for Switzerland since I don‘t have recognition of my papers. That,s why I want to process first the recognition of my Ausbildung since there‘s a lot of Swiss hospitals who are looking for nurses. I think if my papers will be recognized then everything will follow „hopefully“
Interesting. I assumed it would be the other way around.
Search this site there are lots of threads on this same topic.
You need to go through the Red Cross.

If he reads the last few pages of the thread I linked, it seems that for non-EUs, the Red Cross is not giving the approval/recognition unless the person has a residence permit. Chicken and egg, it seems.
A-ha! I had a feeling it was the other way around. Nice to know I'm not (that) crazy!
