The 4,724-post figure, post name, age limit and nursing qualification are consistent with the uploaded notice and current recruitment information.

2. Who can apply ? Qualification Education

You must have one of:

Option 1 – GNM

GNM (General Nursing & Midwifery)

OR

Option 2 – B.Sc. Nursing

B.Sc. Nursing from a certified Institution of repute.

The posted notification clearly mentions that the qualification of a nurse should be from a Government/Government authorised private nursing institution which is recognised by the Indian Nursing Council.

Registered with Nursing Council.

Notification says, “You should have valid registration with Tamil Nadu Nurses and Midwives Council.”

So, in plain words:

Basic eligibility – GNM/B.Sc Nursing + recognition + Tamil Nadu Nurses and Midwives Council registration

3. Age restriction

The maximum age specified in the notification is:

50 years

The age limit on current recruiting postings also states up to 50 years, with the corresponding cut-off around the notification date.

The uploaded notice contains no separate detailed category-wise age relaxation table hence I would not presume any extra relaxation without checking the corresponding district notification.

4. Vacancies number
   Total: 4,724 Staff Nurse vacancies

It is a pretty big recruitment push.

The post is:

Staff Nurse (Temporary / Contractual)

Recruitment is carried out through the District Health Societies under NHM-TN.

Some of the current district vacancy numbers reported include:

District vacancies reported

Coimbatore 144

Ramanathapuram 112

Vellore 64

Ariyalur 61

5. Major exclusion

Your posted notice contains a significant statement.

The Model Code of Conduct for elections is in force in Chengalpattu and Tiruppur districts and the recruiting will not be relevant to these areas.

So, before you send your application, review the district-specific notification.

6. pay cheque

Here I would want to make a distinction of the sources.

Some current sources of recruitment mention:

Consolidated Remuneration of ₹21,000/- Per Month

and specify the employment as contractual/temporary.

But the one page notification you submitted does not mention the salary amount.

So, I suggest you to consider the remuneration being advertized as 21,000/month, but please examine the official notification/application instructions of the district before relying on the same.

7. Is this a government job for life?

No.

This recruitment is mentioned precisely as:

Temporary/Contractual Staff Nurse

This is not like a regular Tamil Nadu Government Staff Nurse position.

The current recruitment information similarly describes the roles as contractual/temporary.

So if you are selected, do not assume that the appointment will instantly become permanent.

8. Application method
   Application offline

This is really crucial.

You don’t just fill in an online application form.

The procedure described is:

Download prescribed application form.
Print it out.
Please enter your details.
Enclose photocopies of the necessary documents.
Send/submit the application to the concerned District Health Society/District Health Office.
It must be received in the appropriate office no later than 5:00 PM on 25 September 2026.

The uploaded notification further directs the applicants to apply with photocopies of required documents to the concerned District Health Society.

9. How to apply

The address given in the notice is the general:

To The Executive Secretary District Health Office Respective District Health Society

and excluding the Chengalpattu/Tiruppur specified in the notice.

Significance

Do not send your form to any random District Health Office.

First you should find out:

for which district you are applying, the number of openings in that district, the particular District Health Society, the exact postal location, whether that district is participating.

10. Documents to be prepared

What the uploaded notice says is send photocopies of essential documents.

Prepare a file in accordance with the current application instructions reported that includes, if appropriate:

Application form duly filled
Recent passport size photo
SSLC/10th certificate – age evidence HSC/12th certificate, if any GNM certificate OR B.Sc. Nursing certificate
Mark sheet of nursing
Registration Certificate / Card of Nursing Council
Tamil Nadu Nurses and Midwives Council Provisional Registration Certificate
Community / Caste Certificate (if applicable) Government Photo ID
District notification of Nativity / residency certificate whenever required
Certificate of Experience, if applicable
Other certificates explicitly demanded by the concerned district

If the district notice states otherwise, do not attach non-requested documents. The actual list of documents can vary by district.

11. Selection process

There is contradicting information on line so this needs vigilance.

In many existing sources recruiting is described mostly as screening applications/merit and verification of certificates, without written examination.

But your submitted 1 page notice does not have the detail selection process/exam pattern portion.

So I will not say that written exam is certainly required or definitely not required until it is confirmed by the detailed notification of concerned district.

12. Fee for application

Current recruitment advertisements state:

Application fee No

for this recruitments.

Again, check the district-specific requirements before submitting. The uploaded one-page notification does not obviously include a charge table.

13. Dates to remember

Current recruitment information states:

Event, Date
Notification 12 Sep 2026
Application opens September 12, 2026
Expiry Date 25 September 2026
5:00PM last time

Some recruitment sites also show application evaluation around 3 October 2026 and appointment-order dispatch around 5 October 2026 but these dates should be taken as secondary information unless the official district notification confirms the dates.

14. Official website

The notification directs candidates to the NHM Tamil Nadu website for the application form and relevant documents.
