Today is 12 May 2025, And today International Nurses Day is being celebrated all over the world. This day is to honor those nurses who work hard day and night to save our lives.
Especially in small towns and villages, nurses play a huge responsibility. But the question is, how are the salary and facilities of nurses in small cities? And if you want to become a nurse, how to study for less money? Come, let’s understand in easy language.
Salary and facilities of nurses in small cities
In small towns, nurses mostly work in government or private hospitals. If you have become a new nurse, then your salary in small cities can range from Rs 15,000 to 25,000 every month.
As your experience increases, salary also increases. For example, after working 5 years, your salary can be up to Rs 30,000.
Talking about facilities, nurses get pension, medical insurance, and holidays in government hospitals. Recently in 2025, the government has announced the recruitment of 10,000 new nurses in small town hospitals, and has also increased their salary by 10%.
But private hospitals have less facilities. Many times nurses have to work for a long time, and the holidays are also less.
A big problem is that doctors in hospitals are less in small cities. In such a situation, nurses have to take more responsibility. Many times they have to go home on foot after duty at night, because they do not get bus or auto. The government should pay more attention to their safety and facilities.
