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.
Which companies hire entry level nursing instructors?
Companies hiring entry level nursing instructors right now include Keiser University, Inova Health, and University of Virginia, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 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 8% of entry level nursing instructor openings are remote or hybrid as of August 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. A new grad friendly posting typically welcomes candidates with zero to two years of experience, accepts a teaching practicum or clinical preceptorship in place of formal instructor experience, and does not require an advanced degree as a strict condition of hiring.
Which industries hire the most entry level nursing instructors?
Entry Level nursing instructor roles concentrate in Education, Healthcare & Medical Services, and Government & Public Sector, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors drive entry level hiring because they operate large training pipelines, face ongoing nursing workforce shortages, and need instructors who bring current clinical experience into the classroom.
