Nursing Practice Educator

Cape Breton University

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY

All required documents must be uploaded to Additional Documents with correct titles for each required document.

The School of Nursing at Cape Breton University (CBU) invites applications for two full-time continuing at the rank of Nursing Practice Educator. This position will commence September 1st, 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter.

One of Canada’s youngest and most ambitious universities, CBU recognizes its location on Cape Breton Island as part of Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people. CBU offers a comprehensive set of liberal arts, science, and professional programs and a unique commitment to community, economic development, aboriginal learning, and research into many aspects of environment and culture.

CBU delivers an authentic multicultural experience to all who become part of its academic community. Surrounded by pristine natural landscape, vibrant culture, and welcoming communities on Canada’s stunning east coast, CBU attracts students from more than 50 countries around the world. Our faculty bring passion to their teaching and research and we are known for our friendly and inclusive culture. Strong community involvement and a spirit of entrepreneurship enhance CBU's position in post-secondary education.

The successful candidate will become a member of a progressive, energetic school. The Nursing Practice Educator (NPE) is a valued position within the Department of Nursing. NPEs work closely with nursing students taking a leading role in nursing practice education, supervision, and evaluation of nursing students in acute care, long term care and/or community agencies, as well as on-campus nursing laboratory instruction and evaluation.

Successful candidates will have

  • a Master’s degree in Nursing or other health related discipline;
  • a minimum of five years of nursing practice experience;
  • an active practicing RN license with the Nova Scotia College of Nursing (or be eligible for) prior to commencement of this position;
  • completion of pre-clinical requisites such as immunization, CPR, Criminal Records check to become eligible to interact in clinical settings; and
  • experience teaching, mentoring, and/or preceptoring nursing students would be an asset.

If there are no applicants possessing a master’s degree in nursing or a health-related discipline, those currently enrolled in a Master’s degree program will be considered.

Clinical supervision occurs throughout Nova Scotia at various facilities and within numerous organizations. Applicants must submit clinical requisites such as a NSCN license and placement requirements (i.e., CPR, criminal records check, occupational health documents such as immunizations) upon hiring.

Applications for the successful candidate will include an:

  • cover letter describing the expertise of the applicant
  • complete resume
  • list of least three references. Short listed candidates will be required to submit three reference letters.

Please upload all required documents to Additional Documents if no designated area is listed. Incomplete applications may not be considered.

The union affiliation of this position is with the Cape Breton University Faculty Association.

Applications must be received by June 30th, 2026.

Cape Breton University is strongly committed to fostering diversity within our community. We welcome those who would contribute to the further diversification of our staff, our faculty and its scholarship including, but not limited to, women, visible minorities, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, and persons of any sexual orientation or gender identity. Please note that all qualified candidates are encouraged to apply but applications from Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.

CBU is committed to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) and applicants are encouraged to self-identity if they are part of a marginalised community, or have experience working with Indigenous communities.

If we contact you for an interview and you are a person with a disability who requires technical aids or alternative arrangements, please let us know of these needs and how we can be of assistance.
