Washington State University Tri-Cities College of Nursing invites applications for caring, committed nurse practitioners to work as part-time Clinical Faculty Evaluators (CFEs) in the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program. This is an exceptional opportunity for a nurse practitioner who wants to make an impact working with DNP students but prefers a lower time commitment as an Adjunct Clinical Faculty. In this role, you will work with a small number of DNP students that are currently engaged in clinical activities.

You will correspond collaboratively with the DNP student and their preceptor at their clinical agency throughout the semester to ensure the student is meeting skills competencies related to expected student learning outcomes. Additionally, you will provide meaningful feedback to the students to aid in their professional development.

This recruitment will be used to establish a pool of applicants for the  Academic Year. The pool is continuously accepting applications to be reviewed throughout the academic year.

We are seeking candidates with clinical experience in any of the following nursing specialties:

• Adult-Geriatric Practitioner
• Family Nurse Practitioner
• Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

For up-to-date information on programs and courses offered at WSU, as well as on the Tri-Cities campus specifically, please see the WSU Catalog.

This is a non-tenure track position with the opportunity for a 4.5-month appointment, depending on availability and need. Successful candidates will be assigned to one of the following departments within the College of Nursing, based on specialty and experience, unless a specific department preference is provided in the application materials. Please take a few moments to read more about each department:

• The Foundational Practice and Community Based Care Department
