Clinical Instructors act as liaisons to clinical agencies, sharing clinical expectations and course syllabi with relevant agency staff, and addressing and initiating action when required for student/agency issues that arise.

Completion of required health indicators (MMR titers, TB status, Hepatitis B, and others as required by clinical agencies) and CPR certification at the time of employment. Excellent communication skills and interpersonal relationship strategies. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS Three or more years of experience working in medical/surgical, obstetrics, or mental health as an RN. Experience managing and directing “group” clinical training for students in baccalaureate nursing programs. Experience working with students in an accelerated nursing entry program. Previous classroom teaching experience in an institution of higher education. Experience with a wide range of educational strategies, including virtual and in-person simulation. Current experience with direct patient care in healthcare institutions and/or community settings. Experience with telehealth technologies. APPOINTMENT TERMS This is a 9-month, non-tenure-track position subject to annual review. Individuals may attain eligibility for multi-year contracts after the successful completion of a probationary year and five (5) subsequent one-year appointments. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
