Entry Level Nursing Instructor Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level nursing instructor job?
Employers hiring at the entry level typically look for an active RN license, a bachelor's degree in nursing, and some clinical experience in the area you want to teach. A teaching practicum, a record of precepting students, or coursework in education gives you a real edge. Tailoring your application to show both clinical competence and a genuine interest in teaching is what moves entry level candidates forward.

Companies hiring entry level nursing instructors right now include University of Rochester, Keiser University, and Kentucky Community and Technical College System, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Community colleges, vocational nursing programs, hospital-based education departments, and healthcare systems with large training divisions are the most consistent sources of entry level openings.
Are there remote entry level nursing instructor jobs?
Yes, though most nursing instructor roles at the entry level are on-site or hybrid given the hands-on nature of clinical instruction. About 0% of entry level nursing instructor openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with fully remote roles most common in online nursing programs and continuing education providers.
Are these new grad nursing instructor jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior nursing instructor roles.
