Washington State University Tri-Cities College of Nursing invites applications for caring, committed nurse practitioners to work as part-time/hourly 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. 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.

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

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

This is a non-tenure track position with the opportunity for a 4.5-month appointment, depending on availability and need, providing clinical instruction for traditional semester-long courses for 4.5 months (Fall and/or Spring Semesters). The adjunct faculty appointment contains no guarantee of continued employment beyond the semester assignment. 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.
