Full Job Description
You've mastered bedside nursing. Now come teach it!

Our communities are facing a critical nursing shortage, and the solution starts in the classroom. We are seeking a dedicated Nurse Educator to join our team and answer this urgent call. This is more than a job-it's an opportunity to leverage your nursing knowledge and clinical expertise to inspire, mentor, and prepare future nurses for success.

Location: Tucson, AZ
Schedule: 8 am to 5 pm (No on-call, No weekends)
Classes: Didactic and Clinical

What You'll Do

Teach Didactic: Bring theory to life. You'll lead engaging classroom discussions on med-surg, fundamentals, pharmacology, and more. We don't want monotone PowerPoints; we want your real-world stories and clinical wisdom.

Lead Clinicals: Take a small group of eager, hungry students to the hospital floor. Watch them fumble, then grow. Correct, then praise. You'll be the calm, competent voice they remember for their entire career.

Shape Culture: You'll instill not just clinical skills, but compassion, critical thinking, and professionalism. Our students don't just pass the NCLEX-they become the kind of nurses you'd want caring for your own family.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
  • Master's degree, preferably in Nursing; acceptable if a baccalaureate degree is in nursing.
  • Graduation from an accredited Nursing program recognized by the S. Secretary of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).
  • Three (3) years of occupational experience as a Nurse providing direct patient care
  • One (1) year of full-time teaching experience or administering a nursing education program leading to licensure
  • Current Arizona Nursing license (or multi-state privilege to practice in Arizona) in good standing, and any other certification or credential as required by local, state, or federal laws to work in the field.
  • Verbal and written communications
  • Knowledge of Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, and computers
