Practical Nursing Instructor – Put Your Nursing Experience to Work

(No Teaching Experience Needed)

Are you an experienced nurse who’s feeling the burnout — long shifts, weekends, holidays, staffing shortages, and constant physical demands?

This is your opportunity to stay in nursing, share what you know, and build a stable, meaningful career shaping the next generation of Practical Nurses.

We’re looking for skilled nurses , not career educators. If you know nursing, we’ll teach you how to teach .

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Practical Nursing Instructor, you’ll bring real-world nursing experience into the classroom and lab, helping students connect theory to what actually happens in patient care settings.

You will:

  • Teach practical nursing concepts through classroom instruction, skills lab demonstrations, and clinical guidance
  • Share real clinical experiences, best practices, and patient-care insights
  • Mentor students at all stages of learning — from foundational skills to clinical readiness
  • Prepare students for NCLEX-PN success and entry-level nursing roles
  • Evaluate student performance and provide clear, constructive feedback
  • Participate in paid instructor training and ongoing professional development
  • Work independently while being supported by a dedicated academic and administrative team

No lesson plans from scratch. We provide curriculum, training, and instructional support.

Minimum Requirements

  • Current valid Registered Nursing (RN) license in the State of Connecticut
  • Minimum 3 years of clinical nursing experience as RN required, recent experience preferred
  • Minimum Bachelor's Degree in Nursing (BSN) and willing to pursue Master's Degree in Nursing or related field within 4 years of hire date; or currently hold an MSN or Master's in related field with BSN required
  • Ability to use common software programs (MS Word/Excel/Outlook etc.)
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Great interpersonal skills

Why This Role?

  • No 12-hour shifts
  • Schedule that supports work–life balance
  • Formal and on-the-job training to transition into teaching
  • Make a lasting impact on students’ lives and healthcare careers
  • Extend your nursing career without the physical toll of bedside care

If you’re ready to step away from the floor without stepping away from nursing , this could be the next rewarding chapter of your career.
