A Transition-to-Academia Role for Experienced Nurses Ready to Teach the Next Generation

We are seeking experienced bedside nurses who are ready to take the next step in their careers and transition into nursing education. This role is designed specifically for clinicians who bring strong real-world nursing experience and are interested in developing into confident, effective nurse educators.

You do not need to already be an experienced educator. What matters most is your clinical expertise, your commitment to patient care, and your desire to shape the next generation of nurses.

This is a supported transition-to-teaching role, with structured onboarding, mentorship, and faculty development designed to help you succeed in the classroom, simulation lab, and clinical setting.

We believe the best nursing faculty are developed—not simply hired fully formed.

Why This Role Is Different

Many nursing programs expect new faculty to immediately function independently with limited preparation for teaching.

In contrast, this role provides:

• A structured onboarding and faculty development program
• Step-by-step mentorship in how to teach in classroom, lab, and clinical settings
• Guidance in active learning strategies and student engagement
• Support in transitioning from clinical practice to academic instruction
• A collaborative faculty team that does not expect you to “figure it out alone”
• Leadership committed to your growth as an educator

This is an ideal opportunity for nurses who want to stay in the profession they love while moving away from shift work, nights, weekends, and bedside burnout.

What You Will Do

As Nursing Faculty, you will:

• Teach and support students in classroom, simulation, and clinical environments
• Help students build strong foundational nursing knowledge and clinical judgment
• Support first-term nursing students as they transition into the profession
• Provide feedback, mentorship, and academic coaching
• Participate in curriculum development and program improvement over time
• Contribute to a supportive, student-centered learning environment

Ideal Candidate Profile

We are seeking an MSN- or doctoral-prepared nurse with strong medical-surgical clinical experience and a passion for helping new nursing students succeed.

You may be a strong fit if you:

• Have experience in medical-surgical nursing or similar acute care settings
• Enjoy teaching, mentoring, or precepting students or new nurses
• Want to transition out of bedside nursing into a more predictable schedule
• Are excited to learn how to teach in an academic environment
• Are comfortable working in a growing, fast-paced academic setting
• Value teamwork, professionalism, and shared accountability
• Are committed to helping at-risk or first-term nursing students succeed

Prior formal teaching experience is helpful but not required.

We will teach you how to teach.
