First Teaching Job: Adjunct Faculty

Published

Specializes in Nurse educattion, psychiatric nursing.

Hello everyone! I am looking for help with how to prepare for my first job as a Adjunct Faculty Member at a community college for nursing. I am SO excited but entirely "green" or a "baby" or whatever you may call it. I have no idea what to expect or how to prepare. I will be teaching clinical in my areas of expertise such as psychiatric nursing, I will also be doing clinical for skilled nursing, and eventually medical surgical nursing. I need all the mentorship I can get!

I asked my supervisor if she could recommend an instructor who might have valuable tips for me. I also asked if I could shadow another clinical instructor. There are probably forms, evaluation documents, and policy manuals that you should review. Good luck in your new job!
