Caregiver Training Institute, a division of Bryan University, offers programs in Nursing Assistant (NA-1), CNA-2, and Medication Aide training programs. Our programs are popular and tend to fill up quickly. Our classes are active learning environments filled with a variety of students from pre-nursing students to English language learners, as well as people from all walks of life. You will be making a huge impact on people entering the medical field and teaching quality of care to our future healthcare employees. This is a fun and rewarding job. You will find that many of your students want to become nurses. You are training the next generation of healthcare providers. Recent graduates are not eligible to apply for this position due to OSBN regulations.

This can be a part time or full time Travel Instructor teaching position for qualified applicants living in the state of Oregon. This position is based at an off-campus facility that has its own cohort of students that consists of labs and clinicals during day classes. Labs are generally held from 7:30am to 3:00pm (this can be adjusted to 8-4pm if needed). Clinicals are done from 6:30am to 2:30pm. Labs are 5 days and clinicals are 6 days. The travel instructor will administer the final exam = 12 days total with driving before and after the start date and end date. The travel drive time pay from the school campus to the remote facility and back is $30/hr. A meal stipend and stay at a local hotel for the duration of the labs and clinicals is also provided. Classes are offered on the Oregon Coast. If you live in the Portland-Metro area you can also be approved to teach in CTI on campus skills labs and clinical rotations at local facilities for CTI's regularly scheduled classes.

Position Summary of the Part time Travel Instructor:

As the Travel Instructor you are in the classroom giving lectures, showing the videos, going through PowerPoint presentations, and guiding students through the curriculum requirements. In labs, you will demonstrate skills to the students, give scenarios for them to practice the skills with, and guide and coach them on the skill steps in preparation for the OSBN board exam. You will be trained in the program, given the tools to teach the curriculum and associated required items. You will coach and mentor your students in preparation for their entry into the medical field. In clinicals, you will assign the students to work with facility staff CNAs, assign duties and skills to practice and sign the students off on their skills.

Schedules: Classes are never scheduled on holidays and at times you have the day before and/or after the holiday off. We do not adhere to semester or terms like colleges do.
