If you are passionate about education and inspired by meaningful work, BRCC offers a place where your talents and values can thrive.

Blue Ridge Community College is seeking a full-time, 9-month Nursing Instructor. The two-year Associate Degree program is designed to prepare students educationally as contributing members of the health care team, rendering direct patient care as beginning practitioners of nursing in various health services facilities.

This position includes instruction focusing on client care across the lifespan. BRCC delivers a concept-based curriculum which offers faculty the opportunity to teach a variety of content. This position includes clinical and simulation instruction. Didactic and lab instruction are not a part of this position.
