Interview for an Adjunct LVN Instructor, Please Help!!

Greetings!!

I have an upcoming interview tomorrow (8/4/2016) for an adjunct professor in the LVN program at a nearby community college (very reputable). I have no formal teaching experience, other than as a charge nurse precepting new staff members and or students. I have been a RN since 2011 and I am currently in the FNP program, although I am in the process of transferring to the the education track. I guess I am just curious how to prepare for his interview the best way that I can because I really want this job!! The best part of it all is that I will be interviewing with a former nursing professor who is now the director of the entire nursing program at this school. She was my absolute favorite instructor ever in life and I've kept in contact with her over the years (she even wrote a letter of recommendation for me to get into the masters program)!!! She's one tough cookie, but essentially shaped my entire nursing career and I would consider it a great honor and privilege to teach under her leadership and direction. SOOOOO NERVOUS! PLEASE HELP!! Thank you fellow nurses, any and all advice for interview prep is greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone works in this current role I would love to hear your thoughts on your experience thus far.

Blessings!!!

    Make sure you ask astute questions. What committee work you will be responsible for, what support is available to you as a new instructor, what resources you can expect. What is the faculty teamwork like. Ask to see the clinical or lab evaluation criteria, things like that. I would recommend familiarizing yourself with the differences between RN and LPN scope of practice (state statute and NCLEX). The pass rate should be available online so you might want to look that up before the interview.I hope that helps.
