Help Shape the Educators Who Shape the Next Generation of Nurses

At Galen College of Nursing, we believe exceptional nursing education begins with exceptional faculty.

We are seeking an experienced nursing education professional who is passionate about developing clinical educators, strengthening teaching excellence, and helping faculty succeed in the classroom, simulation environment, and clinical setting.

As our Clinical Faculty Success Specialist, you will play an important role in preparing, mentoring, coaching, and supporting clinical nursing faculty as they transition into their teaching responsibilities.

This opportunity is ideal for a nurse educator who enjoys developing others, applying clinical and educational expertise, and collaborating with academic leaders to strengthen the quality and consistency of clinical nursing education.

Rather than focusing exclusively on direct student instruction, you will have the opportunity to extend your impact by helping other nursing professionals become confident, effective clinical educators.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Expand your impact beyond the bedside or classroom. Use your nursing and educational expertise to develop the faculty members responsible for preparing future nurses.

Be a trusted resource for clinical educators. Provide individualized coaching, meaningful feedback, and professional guidance to faculty as they build confidence and strengthen their teaching practice.

Influence the quality of clinical nursing education. Partner with campus clinical leadership to strengthen faculty readiness, instructional consistency, and clinical teaching effectiveness.

Apply your expertise in faculty development. Contribute to structured onboarding, mentoring programs, clinical observations, simulation preparation, and ongoing professional development.

Join a mission-driven nursing college. Become part of an organization dedicated to nursing education, student success, and preparing compassionate, practice-ready nurses.
