Montgomery College’s Practical Nursing Certificate Program at the East County Educational Center is accepting applications for part-time faculty to support anticipated instructional assignments beginning in the Spring 2027 semester. Assignments are based on student enrollment needs, and an application or a course listed as “TBA” does not constitute an assignment.

Anticipated Spring 2027 instruction will take place on Saturdays and/or Sundays; candidates should be available for one or both weekend days, depending on program needs.

Part-time faculty can expect at least one face-to-face day with students, lasting up to 10.5 hours, along with several hours of homework grading. Weekend and evening hours are occasionally offered.

Faculty must provide students with verbal and written feedback on clinical performance and assignments each week. Assignments include, but are not limited to, pre-class assignments, clinical reflections, nursing plans of care, and patient care concept maps. During the academic year, part-time faculty may teach no more than 11.5 equivalent semester hours per semester and 23 per academic year. During summer, they may teach no more than 10 equivalent semester hours across both sessions combined.
