Association opposes recruitment of over 4,000 nurses on contract by govt.

The Tamil Nadu Nurses Empowerment Association (TNNEA) has criticised the State government’s decision to fill 4,724 vacancies of nurses by recruiting candidates on a 11-month temporary contract basis and overlooking those awaiting job regularisation under the Medical Recruitment Board (MRB) scheme.

Recently, the District Health Society, National Health Mission, Tamil Nadu, invited applications for the post of contractual/temporary staff nurses for vacancies in institutions under the Directorate of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Directorate of Medical and Rural Health Services, Directorate of Medical Education and Research, and the Greater Chennai Corporation for a monthly remuneration of ₹21,000.
