Charge Nurse Female

About This Job

The Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) is inviting online applications for the post of Charge Nurse Female, to be filled under the Specialized Healthcare and Medical Education Department. Advertised under Case No. 33-RD/2026 as part of PPSC's Advertisement No. 10/2026, published in newspapers on 17 September 2026, this is a very large-scale recruitment covering 1,958 vacancies on a BS-16 pay scale, offered on a contract basis for a period of 3 years. Of these, seats are distributed as 1,801 Open Merit, 59 Special Persons Quota, and 98 Minority Quota, under the Commission's standard quota system, with successful candidates posted anywhere in Punjab. Given the scale of this hiring drive, it represents one of the most significant nursing-recruitment opportunities in Punjab's public health sector this year, offering long-term, stable government employment to qualified female nursing graduates.

Candidates must hold either a B.Sc. Nursing Generic (Four Years) degree with a valid registration from the Pakistan Nursing Council (PNC), or a Diploma in General Nursing and Midwifery with a valid PNC registration; preference will be given to graduates of Government nursing institutions. Candidates who applied to PNC for registration of their diploma or B.Sc. Nursing Generic on or before the closing date, but whose registration card was issued after the closing date or has not yet been issued, will be provisionally held eligible provided they can produce documentary evidence, properly stamped and signed by the competent PNC authority, of having applied on or before the closing date; candidates who applied for renewal of an expired registration card after the closing date will also be held eligible. The prescribed age bracket runs from a minimum of 21 years to a maximum of 36 years (21 to 28 plus the standard 8-year relaxation for women); the post is open exclusively to female and female transgender candidates domiciled in any district of the Province of Punjab, with age and sex for transgender candidates determined from their CNIC. Merit will be determined through a single written test — a one-paper MCQ examination of 100 marks and 90 minutes' duration, with all questions drawn from the prescribed qualification (100% weightage).

Interested and eligible candidates must apply strictly online through PPSC's official portal at www.ppsc.gop.pk, selecting Advertisement No. 10/2026 and Case No. 33-RD/2026 for this post before the closing date. The application fee is payable online only, through 1Link member banks, ATM, mobile/internet banking, JazzCash, EasyPaisa, U Paisa, or participating microfinance banks, and the paid challan or receipt must be retained for record and verification purposes. Applicants should keep scanned copies of their CNIC, nursing qualification documents, PNC registration certificate (or proof of application/renewal), domicile certificate, and a recent passport-size photograph ready before starting the online form. As with all PPSC advertisements, incomplete or late applications will not be entertained, and any variation in the number of posts after advertisement will not require candidates to submit a fresh application. The last date for submission of online applications is 05 October 2026.
