We are seeking nursing professionals with a bachelor’s degree in nursing, recent clinical experience, and the ability to connect with and support students from all backgrounds. Successful candidates bring strong communication skills, professionalism, and a collaborative mindset, along with a commitment to evidence-based practice, continuous learning, and the mission of a comprehensive community college.
