Campus Dean/Director of Nursing

Schedule: Monday – Friday, 9AM – 5PM (On-Site Only)

Shape the Future of Nursing Education

Are you a visionary nursing leader ready to make a lasting impact on the next generation of nurses? This is your opportunity to step into a dual role as Campus Dean/Director of Nursing at a growing Ohio campus, where you’ll guide students, mentor faculty, and ensure program excellence in a supportive and student-centered environment.

This is more than a leadership position — it’s a chance to champion academic success, strengthen community partnerships, and uphold the high standards of one of the region’s leading nursing education providers.

What You’ll Do

As the Campus Dean/Director of Nursing, you’ll oversee the academic operations of our nursing programs (Practical Nursing, Associate Degree in Nursing, and, where applicable, Bachelor of Science in Nursing). You’ll ensure students receive the highest quality education while supporting faculty and driving program growth.

• Directing and managing academic operations for all nursing programs at the campus
• Mentoring, supervising, and evaluating faculty to maintain teaching excellence
• Developing and executing faculty schedules and staffing plans
• Leading program compliance, accreditation, and curriculum standards
• Collaborating with the Campus Director on admissions, student records, and operational success
• Building and maintaining clinical site partnerships to meet enrollment needs
• Facilitating faculty meetings, advisory boards, and accreditation visits
• Serving as the key academic leader for more than 500 students at this campus

This role is highly administrative and leadership-focused — with no teaching responsibilities.

What We Offer

• Comprehensive Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and retirement plans beginning the first of the month following your start date
• Work-Life Balance: Monday–Friday schedule with occasional adjusted evening hours for student meetings
• Growth & Stability: Be part of a respected and expanding network of higher education institutions supported by a strong parent organization
• Impact & Purpose: Lead a dedicated team of educators and influence the careers of hundreds of future nurses

What We’re Looking For

• Master’s degree in Nursing (Doctorate preferred)
• At least 5 years of nursing practice as an RN
• Minimum 2 years of teaching experience in a professional nursing program
• Previous leadership/managerial experience required
• Strong knowledge of LPN vs. RN role differentiation
• Excellent communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills
• Ability to manage complex issues and foster a collaborative academic culture

Ready to Lead? If you’re a dynamic nurse educator and leader seeking a role where your impact will be felt across an entire campus community, we want to hear from you. Join us in preparing the next generation of nurses — and shaping the future of healthcare.

Apply today to start your journey with us.
