Entry Level Nursing Faculty Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level nursing faculty job?
Start by completing any required graduate coursework or a master's degree in nursing, since most entry level faculty positions expect at least a graduate credential in progress or completed. Highlight clinical practicum experience, any guest lecturing or tutoring, and familiarity with curriculum development tools. Applying to community colleges or adjunct positions is a practical first step, as these roles most consistently welcome candidates with limited teaching experience.
Which companies hire entry level nursing facultys?
Companies hiring entry level nursing facultys right now include Grand Canyon University, Samuel Merritt University, and Thomas Jefferson University & Jefferson Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At the entry level, hiring tends to come from community colleges, regional universities, and healthcare systems that run affiliated nursing programs and regularly bring on adjunct or junior faculty to meet growing enrollment demands.
Are there remote entry level nursing faculty jobs?
Yes, though most positions still require some on-site presence for clinical supervision. About 7% of entry level nursing faculty openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with remote roles more common in didactic or online-program faculty positions than in hands-on clinical instruction roles.
Are these new grad nursing faculty jobs?
Yes, many of these listings are new grad and junior nursing faculty roles that welcome recent graduates and candidates with zero to two years of experience. A new grad-friendly posting typically notes that a master's degree or enrollment in a graduate program is acceptable, and may accept a portfolio of clinical work or internship supervision in place of formal teaching history.
Which industries hire the most entry level nursing facultys?
Entry Level nursing faculty roles concentrate in Education and Healthcare & Medical Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because expanding nursing program enrollments and ongoing faculty shortages create consistent demand for junior instructors willing to grow into full-time academic roles.
