- Current and unencumbered registered nurse license in the state of employment

Tips for Your Professor of Nursing Job Search
Tailor your CV to academic expectations
Nursing faculty applications require a full academic CV, not a resume. List every publication, clinical certification, grant, and committee role separately. Hiring committees weigh your scholarly output and clinical credentials equally, so neither section should be thin.
Match your clinical hours to tenure requirements
Some postings require you to maintain an active clinical practice alongside teaching. Read each listing carefully for clinical hour expectations before applying, because accepting a role you can't sustain professionally puts your license and your position at risk.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists professor of nursing openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match your specialty and apply directly to each listing without hunting across multiple sources.
Highlight simulation lab and accreditation experience
Nursing programs under ACEN or CCNE review prioritize faculty who have contributed to accreditation self-studies or run simulation labs. If you've held either responsibility, feature it prominently in your cover letter and teaching statement.
Prepare a teaching philosophy that cites outcomes
Generic teaching philosophy statements get skimmed. Connect your pedagogical approach directly to measurable outcomes, such as NCLEX pass rates you influenced or clinical competency improvements you documented. Committees remember specifics over abstractions.
Ask about committee load in your first interview
Faculty burnout in nursing schools often traces to service overload. During your interview, ask how committee assignments are distributed across the department and what the typical first-year load looks like, so you can compare offers on more than salary alone.

The companies hiring the most professor of nursings right now include Northeastern University, James Madison University, and University of Northern Iowa, with the largest share of openings in New York, Texas, and Massachusetts, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Regional universities and community colleges with large nursing programs tend to post the most consistently throughout the year.
How many professor of nursing jobs are remote?

How do you become a professor of nursing?
Start by earning at least an MSN, though a DNP or PhD significantly improves your competitiveness for tenure-track positions.

Build a record of scholarship, committee involvement, and familiarity with accreditation standards before applying to full-time faculty positions.
Can you get a professor of nursing job without prior teaching experience?

What does the professor of nursing interview process look like?
Most nursing faculty searches involve an initial screening call with HR or the search committee, followed by an on-campus or virtual interview that includes a teaching demonstration in front of faculty and sometimes students. You'll typically meet the dean, department chair, and current faculty separately. Some programs also ask for a written teaching philosophy or curriculum sample in advance of the final interview.
