What Nursing Candidates Should Check Before Applying
This notification is specifically for nursing graduates whose qualifications include the integrated CPCH curriculum. A B.Sc. Nursing or Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing degree alone should not be treated as sufficient without checking the integrated curriculum requirement and the applicable passing-year condition.
Another point candidates should consider is the nature of the appointment. The initial agreement is for one year and may be renewed depending on performance and requirements. The notice also expressly rules out any claim to regular absorption. The remuneration has two components: fixed monthly payment and a performance-based incentive, which is capped at ₹15,000.
