Candidates seeking Associate Professor rank are required to have teaching experience at the University level and a scholarship record commensurate for appointment at that rank.

Due to planned program growth in our Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) major, we are now seeking an experienced and motivated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) to join our DNP Nurse Practitioner faculty team and to function as the Coordinator for the new Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) BSN-DNP Concentration and Post Master’s/Post DNP Certificate. The PMHNP Coordinator will provide leadership in teaching, service, and scholarly activity.

The PMHNP Coordinator reports to the Director, School of Nursing.

The Doctor Nurse Practice (DNP) curriculum emphasizes innovative and evidence-based nursing practice to meet the demands of an increasingly complex health care system, improve the safety and quality of care delivery, and influence health care policy. DNP Nurse Practitioner faculty are committed to the education of future NPs who are competent and well qualified to deliver safe and high-quality care.

The Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) Coordinator will be responsible for accreditation compliance and programmatic evaluation as well as the development and implementation of educational courses including classroom, lab instruction, and clinical practice. Classroom instruction includes planning for a variety of teaching and learning strategies directed at meeting individual learning styles in lecture, online, and hybrid formats. Clinical practice includes identification, and oversight of, practice preceptors as well as direct and indirect practicum supervision to designated students, consistent with the program and course learning objectives. Advising, supervising, and evaluating PMHNP practicum students in conjunction with preceptors is required. The PMHNP Coordinator serves as the primary liaison on behalf of the School of Nursing between the practicum preceptors, practicum course lead faculty and clinical agencies.
