The Part-Time Adjunct Faculty – Nursing Success Coach is a remote, part-time faculty role within the School of Nursing that supports student progression, course success, remediation completion, and NCLEX readiness. Reporting to the appropriate Department Chair or academic leader, this position works with instructional faculty, School of Nursing leadership, academic support units, and student support services to provide structured, data-informed coaching for nursing students experiencing academic or progression challenges.

Nursing Success Coaches engage students through scheduled coaching appointments, virtual office hours, small-group remediation, NCLEX-style question review, and study-skills support.

• Provide trends, summaries, and recommendations to School of Nursing leadership as requested to support evaluation of student success initiatives.
• Complete University-required training, attend required pre-term or program meetings, and follow University policies, School of Nursing expectations, and applicable Faculty Handbook requirements.
• Respond to student and University communications within expected timelines.
