HSSC Staff Nurse Syllabus, Exam Pattern, Eligibility

Weightage: general awareness and reasoning 20 percent, computer basics 10 percent, nursing subjects 70 percent. HSSC calls the split tentative.

The 70 percent nursing part covers anatomy, physiology, nutrition, biochemistry, nursing foundations and the other core nursing subjects, including community health and maternal and child health. The complete list is Group 2 in Appendix C of the advertisement and on the HSSC Syllabus page.

• Qualification (Cat. 4 and 5): B.Sc. (Honours) Nursing, B.Sc. (Post Basic) Nursing or a diploma in General Nursing with Midwifery from a recognised institute, plus registration as an A-division nurse with the Haryana Nurses Registration Council.
• Qualification (Cat. 6): A-grade nurse with midwifery training and Haryana Nurses Registration Council registration, or B.Sc. Nursing.
• Age: 18 to 42 years, with relaxations under Haryana instructions. Hindi or Sanskrit up to Matric is needed.

Category 7, Sister Tutor (12 posts, FPL-8), is in the same advertisement but needs different qualifications and experience.

Candidates apply using their CET registration number, and HSSC calls up to ten times the number of posts, ranked by CET marks, for the written exam. Half the marks, 50 percent, is the pass mark for general category and 40 percent for reserved. Equal marks go by age.

Pay level FPL-7 for Staff Nurse, Health Nurse and DMER Nurse, with FPL-8 for Sister Tutor. The advertisement gives levels, not a rupee amount.

Applications were online through a link given in the advertisement, with no fee. Candidates who had applied earlier under HSSC's older nurse advertisements applied again using the CET registration number. The next round will have its own link on the HSSC Advertisements page.
