This is a remote/online teaching position scheduled during daytime hours on Fridays.

Schedule: Fridays – Daytime Hours

Applicants must hold a current, unencumbered Registered Nurse license in Illinois

Your Role

As a Mental Health Nursing Instructor, you will deliver engaging, student-centered online instruction and help students connect psychiatric and mental health nursing concepts to practical nursing care.

You will create an interactive virtual classroom environment, encourage active participation and clinical reasoning, identify students who need additional support, and work collaboratively with nursing faculty and academic leadership to promote student success.

You will join a collaborative nursing faculty focused on strong instruction, student support, clinical judgment, and preparing students for success in nursing practice and on the NCLEX-PN.

This part-time role is especially well suited for an experienced mental health nurse or nurse educator who wants to remain engaged in nursing education while maintaining other professional responsibilities.

Requirements

  • Current, unencumbered Registered Nurse license in Illinois.
  • Minimum of 3 years of experience as a Registered Nurse.

  • Strong communication, organization, and student-engagement skills.
  • Commitment to creating a supportive, accountable, and student-centered learning environment.
