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.

Additionally, you will provide meaningful feedback to the students to aid in their professional development.

• Adult-Geriatric 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.
