Adjunct Nursing Lab Instructor – BSN Program

At Chattanooga College, Division of Nursing team members help implement our strategy of “Where a small school can make a BIG difference!!”.

The Adjunct Nursing Lab Instructor with the BSN Program provides high‑quality, student‑centered lab instruction and educational support to pre‑licensure and RN‑to‑BSN nursing students on a course‑by‑course basis. This role supports student academic success, engagement, and course completion through effective education, assessment, and feedback. Responsibilities include delivering clinical instruction, supporting curriculum objectives, evaluating student performance, and fostering a safe, engaging, and supportive learning environment.

This adjunct instructional position requires significant interaction with students, faculty, and clinical site personnel through direct clinical supervision, instruction, and evaluation. Adjunct Nursing Lab Instructors must possess extensive knowledge of nursing practice, clinical competencies, and educational best practices, interpret individual student learning needs, provide constructive feedback, and work effectively with students who may be stressed or challenged in clinical settings.

Ideal candidates have strong interpersonal, communication, and instructional skills, a passion for educating future nurses, and the ability to manage the responsibilities of clinical teaching in a dynamic healthcare environment.

The Adjunct Nursing Lab Instructor will support students by clarifying course expectations, teaching and supporting students in lab environments, guiding students in applying theory to practice, assisting with professional development as future nurses, and promoting safe and ethical nursing practice. This role requires maintaining confidentiality and accurate academic records in compliance with accreditation standards, institutional policies, and federal regulations (e.g., FERPA).

A commitment to equity, access, and student success—particularly for diverse and at‑risk populations—is essential.
