Program Director (RN) — Nursing Assistant Training Program

Why this isn’t the usual RN job • Supervisory, light-touch role:This is primarily oversight and quality assurance, designed to be compatible with a full‑time clinical position. Day‑to‑day teaching is handled by our instructor team, so this role should rarely impact your primary job. • Instructors teach; you lead:OurLPN instructorsdeliver the curriculum and run clinicals. You mentor, select, and supervise them, ensuring standards are met—without carrying the daily teaching load. • Career accelerator:Whether you remain solely the Program Director or also choose to guest lecture on occasion, the leadership and education scope here can materially strengthen your portfolio for future clinical education, management, or regulatory roles. • Real growth potential:We plan to expand. As we open new locations, you’ll have first-line opportunities to broaden scope—multi-site oversight, regional leadership, or Director of Education.
