Practical Nursing Program Director - hybrid
Gurnee, IL
We are seeking a Director of an LPN Program for a college in Gurnee, Illinois. This is a full-time HYBRID position with occasional travel to campus. Full-Time salaried position at $100K per year plus full benefits. 2
REQUIRED:
2 yrs of each as nursing faculty and clinical experience.
Active Illinois RN license
Master’s degree or higher with a major in Nursing
Minimum 3 years of clinical nursing experience
Minimum 2 years of nurse educator experience
Familiarity with ABHES, IBHE, and IDFPR compliance requirements
Strong leadership and organizational skills
Located between Chicago and Milwaukee
This is a particularly attractive opportunity because it gives you the chance to lead and shape an entire practical nursing program while working remotely. You would have the professional influence of a program director—guiding faculty, strengthening curriculum, supporting student achievement, and helping improve licensure outcomes—without having to relocate or commute to campus every day.
The role is based in Gurnee, strategically located between Chicago and Milwaukee, which provides access to a substantial healthcare workforce, clinical partners, faculty talent, and prospective students. Most importantly, this is an opportunity to multiply your impact: instead of educating one class or caring for one group of patients, you would help prepare many future nurses who will serve their communities for years.
It is also an excellent next step for someone who wants to move further into academic leadership while preserving flexibility and quality of life. Remote program-director opportunities are difficult to find, and this position could become a strong pathway toward future dean-level or regional nursing leadership roles.
