Position Overview
Primary Purpose of the Position
A significant result of the nursing shortage is the limited number of
qualified nurse educators. In order to meet the instructional need, adjunct
faculty are an integral part of the curriculum and faculty structure in the
Division of Nursing (DON). Without adjunct faculty, the DON would not be
able to meet the instructional needs of the nursing program. Adjunct faculty
positions provide the DON an opportunity to hire experienced nurse educators,
clinicians, and practitioners to assist in meeting the mission, vision, and
objectives of the division. Adjunct faculty focus principally on excellence in
instruction and engagement. In addition to their instructional
responsibilities in the classroom, clinical, and/or on-line environments,
adjunct faculty provide clinical and practicum supervision of nursing
students; collaborate and develop professional relationships with healthcare
agencies, professional organizations, and other constituencies. Adjunct
faculty are critical to the implementation of the curriculum, instruction and
supervision of students and success in meeting learning outcomes. Adjunct
faculty coach and mentor students during the academic experience and beyond.
Primary Function of Organizational Unit
The Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) concentration prepares graduates to
provide comprehensive primary care to patients, across a broad range of health
care settings, especially underserved and disadvantaged patients, and those of
diverse ethnicity. The FNP curriculum includes 51 credit hours and 672
practicum hours. Full-time students complete the curriculum in two years,
while the part-time students complete the curriculum in three years.
FNP graduates are eligible to sit for the American Association of Nurse
Practitioners (AANP) or American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC)
