Prepare for the RRB Staff Nurse 2026 exam with 1000+ MCQs, full-length timed mock tests, and the complete syllabus aligned to the latest Railway Recruitment Board pattern. Free to start, with downloadable PDF papers and marking schemes.
The RRB Staff Nurse exam is conducted by the Railway Recruitment Board to recruit Staff Nurses in Indian Railways hospitals and health units across all zones. It is a single-stage computer-based test (CBT) and one of the most sought-after government nursing jobs for its pay, job security and benefits.
The exam blends a heavy professional nursing section with a lighter general aptitude section. Negative marking means accuracy under time pressure is critical — consistent timed practice is the most reliable way to clear the cutoff.
| Section | Questions | Marks | Marking |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nursing / Professional Ability | 70 | 70 | +1, −⅓ |
| General Awareness, Reasoning, Arithmetic, Science | 30 | 30 | +1, −⅓ |
| Total | 100 | 100 | 90 minutes |
