Nursing Program Director - Nationwide Opportunities

Stepful is building something different in nursing education — and we're growing fast.

We launched our first practical nursing programs in Ohio and Missouri, and we're just getting started. As we expand our footprint across more states, we're looking to connect with experienced nursing education leaders who are excited by the opportunity to build, grow, and lead programs that are genuinely changing who gets access to a nursing career.

If you're a Registered Nurse with a background in nursing education leadership — whether you're currently a Program Director, Dean, faculty leader, or a senior instructor ready to step up — we'd love to hear from you. We're not just filling seats; we're building a bench of exceptional leaders who share our belief that rigorous, accessible nursing education can coexist.

At Stepful, our nursing programs combine live virtual instruction with in-person skills labs and clinical rotations at established employer partner sites — built on the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model and designed to produce practice-ready nurses. We were named the #1 EdTech company in the U.S. by TIME in 2025.
