Dongnam Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences Records 37.5:1 Competition Ratio for New Nurse Recruitment

2,252 Applicants for 60 Positions
Record-High Competition Ratio Year After Year

Dongnam Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences (Director Lee Changhoon) announced on the 25th that it had conducted an open recruitment for new nurses for 2026, attracting 2,252 applicants for 60 positions, resulting in a competition ratio of approximately 37.5 to 1.

This is even more competitive than last year, when 1,959 candidates applied for 55 positions, resulting in a ratio of about 36 to 1.

The recruitment process begins with a document screening, after which the list of first-round qualifiers will be posted on the Dongnam Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences website. The written exam will be held at BEXCO on October 25. Those who pass the written exam will then be interviewed, and the final successful candidates will be selected.

Lee, a nurse who joined in 2025 and is currently working at the institute, said, "The organizational culture is not hierarchical but flexible, and thanks to the warm guidance of senior staff and a culture that supports individual growth, I was able to adapt quickly." She added, "I feel a great sense of growth as I develop my expertise by caring for various patients and take pride in protecting the health of local residents as part of a public institution." She also advised, "When preparing for the interview, it is important to maintain a bright smile and confidence, and listening attentively to your colleagues' answers can also help you succeed."

Chief Nursing Officer Jang Heesoon stated, "Due to the ongoing conflict between doctors and the government, the waiting period for new nurse appointments has lengthened nationwide, and many tertiary hospitals have suspended new recruitment, resulting in the highest competition ratio ever." She continued, "To support the adaptation and growth of new nurses, our institute participates in a variety of programs, including essential medical nurse training support, a dedicated nurse educator system, and substitute nurse support initiatives. As a regional public medical institution, we look forward to growing together with outstanding talent."
