Nursing Program Instructional Technician
Are you a registered nurse who enjoys working with students, embracing new technology, and sharing your nursing knowledge in a different way? Mitchell Technical College is looking for a Nursing Program Instructional Technician to join our Nursing Department!
This position offers a unique opportunity to use your nursing background outside of traditional patient care. You'll work alongside nursing faculty to create engaging, hands-on learning experiences that help prepare the next generation of nurses.
From preparing nursing skills labs and facilitating realistic patient simulations to supporting faculty and coordinating departmental activities, no two days will look quite the same.
What You'll Do
- Prepare and maintain nursing skills labs, simulation equipment, and high-fidelity manikins.
- Assist faculty with hands-on learning activities, patient simulation scenarios, and clinical preparations.
- Support the development and setup of nursing skills modules.
- Organize, maintain, and order nursing lab supplies and equipment.
- Provide administrative and organizational support to nursing faculty and department leadership.
- Help coordinate student activities, campus visits, recruitment events, and special programs.
- Assist with student and faculty clinical compliance documentation.
- Support departmental meetings, scheduling, recordkeeping, and other daily operations.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for a registered nurse who is organized, dependable, adaptable, and enjoys working collaboratively with others.
Qualifications and preferred skills:
- Minimum of an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) and RN licensure required.
- Nursing experience in any specialty or practice setting is welcome.
- Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office and other computer applications.
- Willingness to learn new technologies, including nursing simulation equipment.
- Ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative team.
- Commitment to professionalism, confidentiality, and student success.
Experience with nursing simulation or healthcare education is a plus, but not required. We welcome nurses from all areas of practice who are interested in bringing their knowledge and experience into an educational environment.
Why Mitchell Tech?
Your nursing experience has value beyond the bedside.
At Mitchell Tech, you'll have the opportunity to use your clinical knowledge, creativity, and organizational skills to support nursing education in a meaningful way. You'll join a collaborative team committed to helping students build the confidence and skills they need to become successful nurses.
