The opportunity:

Do you have a passion for maternal health, obstetrics, or pediatric nursing — and a gift for teaching? Stepful is seeking a skilled RN and nursing educator to join our practical nursing program as an adjunct Skills Lab Instructor, specializing in OB, pediatrics, and maternal health.

Stepful operates a Board of Nursing–approved Practical Nursing program on a mission to make nursing careers accessible to working adults who wouldn’t otherwise have a path in. Our students are motivated and hardworking — and they need an experienced educator who can bring OB and pediatric nursing to life in a hands-on simulation environment.

As a Skills Lab Instructor, you’ll guide practical nursing students through immersive, hands-on learning experiences at our simulation lab in Worthington, Ohio — helping them build the confidence and competency they need to succeed in clinical practice and on the NCLEX.

Skills lab sessions take place on Fridays, 8am–4pm or 9am–5pm

, aligned to program rotation schedules. Occasionally, sessions extend into immersion weekends (Friday–Sunday) depending on the student cohort — candidates with weekend availability are especially encouraged to apply.

This is a 1099 contract role

, with hours varying based on the number of courses taught — making it a great fit for RNs looking for flexible, meaningful contract teaching work alongside their current practice.
