The National Health Mission Tamil Nadu (NHM-TN) has released a fresh recruitment notification for 4,724 Contractual/Temporary Staff Nurse posts across eligible districts of Tamil Nadu. The recruitment is being conducted through the District Health Societies under the Health and Family Welfare Department, Government of Tamil Nadu.

Eligible candidates with GNM or B.Sc. Nursing qualifications and valid registration with the Tamil Nadu Nurses and Midwives Council can apply.

*The recruitment was published on 12 September 2026, while the official statewide notice reportedly does not separately state an application-start date. Candidates should rely on the district notice/application instructions. (India Job Alerts –)

🔥 TN NHM Staff Nurse Vacancy 2026

The recruitment covers 4,724 Staff Nurse vacancies under a single post category:

The vacancies are associated with institutions under the Directorate of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Directorate of Medical and Rural Health Services, Directorate of Medical Education & Research and Greater Chennai Corporation. (India Job Alerts –)

District-wise Vacancy

The statewide notification refers candidates to the NHM-TN website for the district-wise vacancy distribution. Since the main notice does not reproduce the complete district table, candidates should check the district-wise annexure before sending their application rather than relying on unofficial vacancy lists. (India Job Alerts –)

Important: Chengalpattu and Tiruppur districts are excluded from this particular recruitment notice. (India Job Alerts –)

🎓 Educational Qualification

Candidates applying for TN NHM Staff Nurse Recruitment 2026 should have either:

• GNM (General Nursing and Midwifery) qualification, or

• B.Sc. Nursing qualification.

The nursing qualification should be from a Government/Government-approved institution recognised by the Indian Nursing Council.

Candidates must also possess valid registration with the Tamil Nadu Nurses and Midwives Council. (India Job Alerts –)

Who Should Apply?

This recruitment is mainly suitable for:

✅ GNM-qualified nurses
✅ B.Sc. Nursing graduates
✅ Candidates having the required Tamil Nadu nursing registration
✅ Candidates meeting the prescribed age requirement

🎯 Age Limit

The available recruitment information specifies an upper age limit of 50 years.

Candidates should check the applicable district instructions for any category-specific provisions before applying. (India Job Alerts –)

💰 TN NHM Staff Nurse Salary 2026

A key point for candidates is that the main statewide notification does not specify a consolidated salary/pay amount. Therefore, NaukriDoot is not presenting an unverified salary figure as official.

Some third-party reports mention ₹21,000 per month, but because the statewide official notice available for this recruitment does not clearly establish that figure, candidates should verify the remuneration from their applicable district notification before relying on it. (India Job Alerts –)

💳 Application Fee

The available statewide recruitment information does not clearly specify an application fee.

Therefore:

⚠️ Candidates should check the applicable district application instructions before assuming that the recruitment is completely fee-free.

Do not pay any person or agency for submitting the application unless a fee is explicitly mentioned in the official district notification.

📝 Selection Process

This recruitment is different from many central government examinations because candidates should not assume that a common written examination will be conducted.

The statewide notification does not clearly specify a single common CBT/written-exam pattern. Selection/shortlisting arrangements are handled through the concerned District Health Society. (India Job Alerts –)

Candidates should therefore watch the concerned district’s official notice for:

1. Application scrutiny

2. Merit/shortlisting, if applicable

3. Certificate verification

4. Any additional stage specifically announced by the district

📚 Exam Pattern

There is currently no common official CBT exam pattern published for this statewide Staff Nurse drive.

This is important because several websites may automatically add a generic “exam pattern” to the recruitment page. Candidates should not treat such information as official unless it appears in the applicable district notification.

📅 TN NHM Staff Nurse Recruitment 2026 Important Dates

The completed application must reach the concerned District Health Office/District Health Society by 5:00 PM on 25 September 2026. Candidates using postal services should not wait until the final day. (India Job Alerts –)

This is not a normal online application. Do not confuse downloading the application form from the NHM website with submitting an online form.

• GNM/B.Sc. Nursing certificate

• Nursing marksheets

• Tamil Nadu Nurses and Midwives Council registration certificate

• Date-of-birth proof

• Category certificate, if applicable

📊 Previous TN NHM Staff Nurse Recruitment Data

Candidates frequently search for previous vacancy, total applications and cut-off before applying.

However, there is an important difference with TN NHM recruitment: Staff Nurse hiring is often conducted through District Health Societies, so previous vacancies are not necessarily one single statewide recruitment with one common cut-off.

For example, a DHS Karur 2025 recruitment included 62 Staff Nurse posts, while DHS Ranipet advertised 31 Staff Nurse posts in another 2025 recruitment. (The Nursing Officer)

❓ Previous Total Forms & Cut-Off

A reliable statewide total application count and a single previous TN NHM Staff Nurse cut-off could not be verified for this recruitment structure.

Therefore, NaukriDoot will not publish an estimated number of forms or an unofficial cut-off as fact.

This is especially important for candidates because district-level NHM recruitments may use different shortlisting/merit arrangements.
