Position Summary

Support the Next Generation of Practical Nurses at Pima Medical Institute! We are seeking a dedicated Registered Nurse to serve as a Substitute Clinical Instructor (PRN) for our Practical Nursing (LPN) program at our Aurora campus.

This PRN role is ideal for an active RN who enjoys teaching and mentoring, but prefers a flexible, as-needed schedule. You will step in to lead clinical rotations, supervise students in patient-care environments, and ensure seamless continuity of instruction when primary faculty are unavailable—allowing you to contribute meaningfully to nursing education while maintaining your clinical practice.

Key Responsibilities

Clinical Supervision & Student Guidance:

Direct Instruction: Instruct and supervise nursing students during clinical rotations, ensuring safe, effective, and hands-on learning experiences.
Clinical Learning Coordination: Arrange appropriate clinical learning opportunities tailored to individual student growth needs.
Performance Evaluation: Evaluate student clinical performance, technical competencies, and progress using established clinical standards.
Practice Currency: Stay current in clinical practice and remain informed of evolving standards in the nursing profession.

Instructional Support & Program Quality:

Program Alignment: Assist in implementing and evaluating the Practical Nursing program’s mission, objectives, and clinical standards.
Faculty Collaboration: Partner with ANIP and Clinical Faculty to maintain consistent instructional quality and curriculum delivery.
Policy Adherence: Strictly follow and enforce all institutional and clinical facility policies and procedures.

Academic Management & Support:

Retention & Progress: Monitor weekly student progress and coordinate Academic Success Plans with the Clinical Director as needed.
Attendance & Documentation: Maintain precise student attendance logs and ensure compliance with all record-keeping policies.
Student Advisory: Address concerns between students and institutional staff, providing ongoing guidance on clinical techniques and professional conduct.
Professional Engagement: Attend scheduled faculty meetings and maintain a high standard of professionalism with students, staff, and clinical site partners.

Minimum Qualifications

Education: Baccalaureate degree in nursing (BSN) OR current enrollment in a BSN degree program from a nationally accredited nursing education program.
Licensure: Active, unencumbered Colorado Registered Nurse (RN) license (or Compact/Multi-State privilege to practice in Colorado).
Clinical Experience: Minimum of three (3) years of direct patient care experience as a Registered Nurse.
Teaching Experience: Minimum of one (1) year of nursing teaching, clinical instruction, or preceptor experience.
Technical Skills: Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and computer applications.
Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills.

Why This Role Works

Schedule Flexibility: PRN/as-needed schedule ideal for nurses balancing full-time or part-time clinical shifts with teaching.
Competitive Compensation: Earn $40.00 – $46.89 per hour.
Impact & Mentorship: Mentor and inspire future LPNs without a full-time academic commitment.
Supportive Environment: Work alongside a collaborative academic and clinical leadership team.
Employee-Owner ESOP Perks: Participate in our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), 401(k) eligibility, and Colorado Paid Sick Leave.
