Adjunct Faculty Nursing Assistant Instructor Pool

Overview

Moraine Park Technical College is establishing a candidate pool for part-time Adjunct Faculty Nursing Assistant Instructors to support our Beaver Dam, Fond du Lac, and West Bend campuses. We are seeking dedicated professionals to teach Nursing Assistant courses beginning this summer, offered Monday through Friday in the afternoons and evenings. These blended courses combine lecture, hands-on lab instruction, and supervised clinical experiences and may involve up to 26 hours of work per week.

The successful candidate will have a associate degree in Nursing and two years (4,000 hours) of paid work experiences related to the program(s) being taught, including one year (2,000 hours) of paid work experience that has been acquired within the past five years. In lieu of this one year of recent experiences, two years of post-secondary teaching experience in the appropriate occupational field within the past five years may be considered. (Two years of post-secondary teaching experience means eight semesters of part-time teaching or four semesters of full-time teaching at an accredited institution.) Must have at least two years (4,000 hours) of occupational experience working as a Registered Nurse, with one of those years working as a Registered Nurse in Long Term Care.
