Hello Aspirant,

It’s not uncommon for military nurses to work right alongside military personnel in war zones. One of the most dangerous and difficult aspects of a military nursing career is caring for deployed members of the military during wartime. This often includes treating severe life-threatening injuries, such as gunshot wounds or lost limbs. Because of the severity of the injuries that they may encounter as well as the volatile work environment, military nurses must be able to keep a cool head under pressure. Life-saving skills are also essential skills to have if you’re looking to pursue a military nursing career.

In the initial days of your joining as MNS they are responsible for taking care of the Military Hospital and after that get promotion and up to the chief Nurse which is equivalent to  “A” grade Officers.

Rank in mns:-

entry position - Lieutenant (salary per month 56,000/- PLUS TA, DA, MSP allowance)

After 3 yrs of commissioned service as Captian (salary per month 61,000/- plus allowance)

after 8 yrs commissioned service as Major (salary per month 71,000 to 80,000/-) + allowance

Colonel (salary 139,600/-) + A grade allowance

This is one of the leading careers for women in Defense.

Hope this helps you. Feel free to ask more questions.

Have a good day!
