The opportunity:

Are you an experienced RN and nursing educator looking for meaningful, flexible contract work? Stepful is seeking a Clinical Instructor to guide practical nursing students through in-person clinical rotations in the Toledo, Ohio area — and we’d love to connect with you.

Stepful operates a Board of Nursing–approved Practical Nursing program with a mission to make nursing careers accessible to working adults who wouldn’t otherwise have a path in.
