Earnings
Educational background, experience, responsibilities, geographic location, and the hiring institution are all factors influencing the earnings of nursing instructors.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, nursing instructors and teachers had estimated median annual earnings of $80,780 in 2023. Ten percent earned less than $49,120 annually, and 10 percent earned more than $130,320 annually.
Full-time faculty typically receive such benefits as health insurance, retirement plans, paid sick leave, and, in some cases, funds for work-related expenses such as educational conferences.
