Nursing Professor Jobs North Bay: Full-Time BScN Professor at Canadore College

If you are a registered nurse with a PhD and a genuine love of teaching, this one is worth a proper look. Canadore College in North Bay, Ontario is hiring a full-time professor for its Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, and the posting is open until filled — so there is no fixed closing date breathing down your neck, but that also means it can close once the right person is found.

This is an on-campus role at the College Drive campus. You would be teaching future nurses, shaping course content, and working closely with colleagues in the School of Health Science. It suits someone who is as comfortable in a classroom and a simulation lab as they are at the bedside.

Quick Job Overview

About the employer

Canadore College is a publicly funded college based in North Bay, Ontario. Its School of Health Science runs the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program this role teaches into, alongside other health programs. The college describes its values as respect, integrity, transparency, accountability, and a commitment to excellence, and it states a commitment to inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility in hiring.

North Bay itself is a smaller Ontario city — a very different pace from Toronto, and that is honestly part of the appeal for a lot of people. If you like the idea of teaching in a close-knit college community rather than a huge university department, this setting will feel right.

What this role involves

Reporting to the Associate Dean of Health Science, the professor’s work covers three areas: teaching, course design, and academic leadership.

On the teaching side, you would deliver scheduled classes across the fall, winter, spring, or summer semesters, in person, online, or through a virtual classroom. That includes making sure students understand what they need to learn and how they will be assessed, offering tutoring and academic advice, and using the college’s learning management system (Desire2Learn) to keep the course running smoothly.

You would also design new courses and keep existing ones current — setting learning outcomes, choosing teaching approaches and resources, bringing in educational technology, and revising the curriculum with input from fellow faculty, advisory committees, employers, and students.

And then there is the wider academic side: working with other professors so courses stay consistent, sitting on curriculum and departmental committees, connecting with industry and community partners, promoting the program, and keeping your own teaching practice and subject knowledge up to date.

Required skills and qualifications

The posting is specific about what is essential, so check yourself against this list honestly before applying:

• A PhD in Nursing — this one is required, not preferred.
• Current registration in good standing with the College of Nurses of Ontario.
• At least five years of recent nursing experience.
• At least two years of teaching experience, or equivalent, preferably in a post-secondary setting.
• Current BCLS certification, immunizations, and mask fit.
• Simulation training and experience.
• Strong communication, presentation, and organisational skills, plus hands-on experience with a learning management system such as Desire2Learn or Blackboard.

A few things that strengthen an application, though they are not mandatory: experience in community and public health nursing, experience working with international students in a post-secondary setting, and a solid record of teaching and relevant professional or community work.

Salary, benefits and relocation support

The employer does not state a salary range in this posting, so we are not going to guess one here. Canadore is a public Ontario college, and faculty pay in that sector is normally set by collective agreement — but the exact figure for this role is not published in the posting, so treat the pay as not specified by the employer. No relocation support is mentioned in the posting either. The one practical point the college does make is that this is an in-person, on-campus position, so you need to be able to reliably travel to North Bay.

Work permit / visa note

The posting does not mention visa sponsorship or work-permit support, so this is not specified by the employer. It does list experience working with international students as an asset, but that is about teaching, not immigration support. If you need sponsorship, check the position directly with the college before applying — do not assume it.

Who this role may suit

This fits a nurse-educator who already holds a doctorate and wants a full-time teaching home rather than sessional or casual work. The five-year clinical minimum and the simulation requirement tell you the college wants someone who has genuinely done the work, not just studied it. If you enjoy mentoring students, building courses from scratch, and being part of a smaller campus community in northern Ontario, the shape of this job should feel like a good match.

It will not suit you if you do not yet hold a PhD in Nursing or current Ontario registration — both are firm requirements, and there is no point applying around them.
