IPHB Staff Nurse Recruitment 2026 – Overview

IPHB Staff Nurse Vacancy 2026

There are 10 Staff Nurse vacancies. The appointments are specifically against leave vacancies and are contractual. The notification states that the appointment is co-terminus with the leave period and may be extended or curtailed to match that period. It should therefore not be treated as a regular permanent Government of Goa appointment. citeturn3view1

IPHB Staff Nurse Salary

The selected candidates will receive consolidated remuneration of ₹48,900 per month per head. Because this is a contractual leave-vacancy appointment, the remuneration is a consolidated amount rather than a regular permanent employee’s full pay-and-allowance structure.

Eligibility Criteria

The notification provides nursing qualification routes that include a Certificate in Nursing from a recognised institution together with the prescribed midwifery/special training route for male nurses, or B.Sc. Nursing. Candidates must also hold the required registration as a Registered Nurse or Registered Midwife from the State Council. Knowledge of Konkani is essential and Marathi is desirable. citeturn3view1

For candidates with nursing certificate qualification

Candidates using the certificate route must possess the recognised nursing certificate and satisfy the additional midwifery/special training condition specified in the advertisement. Male nurses are specifically required to have the prescribed six-month midwifery/special training route.

For B.Sc. Nursing candidates

B.Sc. Nursing is listed as an alternative educational route. Candidates should still satisfy the required State Council registration and language conditions.

Age Limit

The notification specifies an age above 18 years and not exceeding 45 years. Candidates should carry proof of age to the interview. The official advertisement is the controlling document for any applicable relaxation or interpretation. citeturn3view1

What Makes This Staff Nurse Opportunity Different?

The main attraction of this recruitment is the combination of a comparatively strong consolidated remuneration of ₹48,900 and a direct walk-in selection route. However, candidates must understand that the posts are against leave vacancies. The appointment therefore depends on the underlying leave vacancy and does not carry the same permanence as a regular Staff Nurse cadre appointment. This distinction is important when comparing the opportunity with other Government of Goa nursing recruitments.

Interview-Day Preparation

Candidates should organise their documents in the same order as the eligibility requirements and carry originals as well as self-attested copies. A simple folder containing the nursing qualification, State Council registration, residence certificate, Employment Exchange Card, age proof and experience documents can make verification easier. Candidates should also carry a pen, photographs and a printed copy of the notification. Reaching Bambolim early is advisable because registration closes at 10:15 AM.

Who Should Avoid Applying?

Candidates who do not hold the prescribed nursing qualification, lack the required State Council registration, exceed the applicable age limit, or cannot produce the required residence and employment-registration documents should not assume that they can regularise the deficiency at the interview. The recruitment notice requires documentary verification, so eligibility should be established before travelling to the venue.
