MSN Program Director

$135k

Great Bay Staffing Group

Job Description

Job Description

$135K/Yr
Irvine, CA

The Opportunity

This role puts you in charge of shaping the next generation of nurse educators and family nurse practitioners. You'll lead both the MSN-Ed and MSN-FNP tracks, with real authority over curriculum, faculty, and program direction rather than a title with limited influence. If you've been ready to move from teaching or clinical practice into a position where you set the academic vision, this is that opportunity.

Why You'll Love This Role

You'll oversee two distinct MSN tracks, giving you broader scope and more strategic influence than a single-track leadership role. Curriculum design is yours to direct, and you'll be the one ensuring it stays aligned with AACN Essentials and NONPF competencies as graduate nursing education continues to evolve.

Beyond administration, you'll stay connected to the classroom by teaching graduate-level nursing courses that match your expertise. You'll also build and maintain the clinical partnerships and preceptor networks that make or break FNP and nursing education practicum placements, giving you a direct hand in student success rather than just reviewing outcomes after the fact. Compensation is $135K/Yr, commensurate with your education and experience.

What Your Week Looks Like
  • Guiding curriculum evaluation and improvement across the MSN-Ed and MSN-FNP tracks
  • Recruiting, mentoring, and evaluating faculty to build a strong, collaborative teaching team
  • Reviewing admissions, progression, and retention data to inform student support strategies
  • Maintaining CCNE accreditation compliance and California BRN regulatory standards, including self-studies and site visit preparation
  • Strengthening clinical partnerships to secure quality practicum placements
  • Teaching graduate-level nursing coursework as your schedule and expertise allow
  • Reporting on student outcomes and program effectiveness to drive continuous improvement
What We're Looking For
  • Doctorate in Nursing (PhD, DNP, or EdD) or a related field from a regionally accredited institution
  • MSN with specialization in Nursing Education and/or Family Nurse Practitioner
  • Unencumbered California RN license (or license-eligible); FNP certification and licensure if applicable
  • At least three years of graduate-level nursing education experience
  • Demonstrated experience in program administration, curriculum development, and academic leadership
  • Working knowledge of CCNE and BRN accreditation and regulatory standards

Preferred:

  • FNP-BC or FNP-C certification with clinical experience
  • Graduate teaching experience in MSN-FNP and/or MSN-Ed tracks
  • Experience managing multiple nursing program tracks in a university setting
  • Familiarity with online and hybrid program delivery
  • Track record of developing clinical partnerships and coordinating practicums
  • Scholarly contributions, research, or leadership within professional nursing organizations
Ready to Apply?

If you're ready to lead a program instead of simply teaching within one, this is worth a conversation.
