Careers

Nursing is a job that is needed everywhere, in India and abroad. Here is where a nursing degree can lead.

First step

Becoming a registered nurse

After passing B.Sc Nursing, graduates register with the Tamil Nadu Nurses and Midwives Council (TNNMC) as a Registered Nurse and Registered Midwife (RN & RM). Registration is needed to work as a nurse.

Careers

Jobs in India

  • Staff nurse in government and private hospitals

  • Government nursing posts, filled through recruitment exams such as those held by the Medical Services Recruitment Board (MRB), Tamil Nadu

  • Nurse in community health centres and public health programmes

Careers

Working abroad

Many Indian nurses work in other countries. Each country has its own rules. Usually nurses need:

  • An English language test, such as IELTS or OET
  • The country's own nursing licence exam, for example NCLEX-RN for the USA
  • Work experience, which many employers abroad ask for

Keep learning

Higher studies

Graduates can go on to M.Sc Nursing, a 2-year master's degree, and later a PhD in Nursing. These lead to teaching posts and specialist nursing roles.
