Work Culture & Environment

Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

Staff Nurses will be stationed at the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Hospital in Umsning, Ri-Bhoi District, Meghalaya. Daily duties involve clinical bedside patient care, labor room management, antenatal and postnatal monitoring, assisting obstetricians during normal deliveries and caesareans, neonatal resuscitation in the SNCU, medication administration, and maintaining inpatient ward registers. Shift duties (morning, evening, night rotations) with emergency on-call responsibilities in a dedicated maternal and neonatal healthcare facility.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

Appointment is purely temporary on a contractual basis for an initial period of 6 (six) months under the Office of the District Medical & Health Officer, Ri-Bhoi District. Extension is subject to project performance, satisfactory appraisal, and state health budget sanction. Engagement does not confer any entitlement to regularization or permanent government service.

Career & Promotion Ladder
