Does German Berufsschule education count in US?
I'm from Germany and went there to Wirtschaftsschule/Realschule and then Berufsschule (Industriekauffrau). I now live in the USA and would like to go back to school for a nursing degree. Does my German education count here in the US or would I have to start out new and take a GED test?

since you have an international educational background, you would have to check out requirements for international students on each schools web site. I would recommend calling up admissions and talking to them.

To get admitted into University you need to have finished high school. You will need to get your credentials evaluated and translated. You do not need to take the GED test. Contact the college first and see what they require of you. Credential Evaluation Services Credential evaluation services provide objective evaluations of the US equivalents of foreign education and work credentials. For example, a credential evaluation service would indicate that the Spanish word bachiller corresponds to a US high school diploma, even though the literal translation is bachelor. Fees for the evaluation of US education credentials tend to range from $50 to $250 per document, depending on the amount of detail required and the speed of response. Some companies will also translate the documents. Others will require that the documents be accompanied by English translations. There may be extra fees (typically $20 to $100 per page) for document translation services. The student is responsible for paying for the credential evaluation and translation fees. The American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) is the national professional organization for admissions and credential evaluation. AACRAO also offers their own credential evaluation service. There is also the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services, Inc. (NACES), a small membership association of private credential evaluation services.
