TN NHM Staff Nurse Recruitment 2026 — 4724 Posts, Apply by 25 Sep

TN NHM Staff Nurse Recruitment 2026 (4,724 Posts), Apply Offline by 25 September 2026 in Tamil Nadu. The District Health Society under National Health Mission - Tamil Nadu (NHM-TN), Health and Family Welfare Department, Government of Tamil Nadu, has released a notification inviting offline applications for 4,724 posts of Contractual/Temporary Staff Nurse. This NHM-TN government job 2026 opportunity spans institutions under the Directorate of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, the Directorate of Medical and Rural Health Services, the Directorate of Medical Education & Research, and the Greater Chennai Corporation. Eligible candidates holding a GNM or B.Sc. Nursing qualification can apply offline through the concerned District Health Office before the deadline. The National Health Mission funds and supports contractual staffing across India's public health institutions, and Tamil Nadu's NHM structure delegates the actual hiring of Staff Nurses to each District Health Society rather than running one centralised state-wide process — which is why this single notification actually represents dozens of parallel district-level recruitment exercises, each with its own application form, annexure, and submission address, bundled together under one overall vacancy count of 4,724. Given the scale and the district-by-district administration, candidates should specifically download their own district's application form and annexure from nhm.tn.gov.in rather than assuming a single, uniform set of documents applies statewide. Selected Staff Nurses will be posted at health institutions across Tamil Nadu districts, excluding Tiruppur and Chengalpattu, where the Model Code of Conduct for elections is currently in force. The NHM-TN 2026 notification does not describe a detailed selection process; candidates should refer to the district-specific official notification PDF for the exact process followed for their district. The notification also does not specify a salary figure for this recruitment; candidates should confirm the applicable consolidated pay directly with their respective District Health Office. The NHM-TN 2026 offline application must be submitted to the Office of the District Health Officer/District Health Society of the concerned district. The last date to apply for this recruitment is 25 September 2026, up to 5:00 PM. No application fee has been mentioned in the notification. Candidates must read the complete official district-specific notification PDF at nhm.tn.gov.in before applying, since this is a district-wise recruitment drive and only 4 of the many participating districts' vacancy figures were confirmed in the available source — the full district-wise breakdown is published separately in each district's own annexure.
