What is the life of a Nurse in Military Nursing Service or MNS in India?

  • I wanted to know what the life of a nurse in MNS in India is like? I know they are part of the Military but do they enjoy all comforts that the other officers get?

  • Answer:

    Yes, socially the MNS personnel are equal with the army officers and have all the financial benefits that government provides to defence officers. They also get ranks of lieutenant,colonel etc. and accordingly housing in army camps,LTC etc. The only thing is that they are posted to air force hospitals and stations too. But generally they are with the army hospitals and enjoy a elite position as they are not directly nursing. they have jawans from the Army medical corps to assist them. They are the boss of the medical wards.

As the son of a former MNS officer,  I am qualified to answer this question. If you're a nursing professional in India, there probably isn't a better career than than the MNS.  The work hours are long and often brutal, more so if you're posted at a hospital in a remote region.  However,  the salary is excellent,  the perks more than satisfactory and the social standing excellent. After all, you're an officer in the armed forces.

I am replying this question with a great responsibility. My wife was a former MNS officer. Yes it is true that they get all the services at par like other officers.Other then Respect, when I say respect it means - Salutation, Not treated at par with other officers, Uniform is different from other army officers, Conform zone is not at par with other lady Army officer, at time you in allowances also they are not treated at par with other Army officer. where as it is not the case in other MNS crops in other countries.  My recommendation is not to Join India Military Nursing Services Cropes, till the time they are not treated at par with other officers .
