The following outlines the duties and responsibilities of nursing faculty members. Each nursing faculty member is expected to stay current in the discipline of nursing through continuing study, research, and clinical practice; to be engaged in professional nursing organizations; to strive to improve the effectiveness of the faculty’s teaching; to take a sympathetic interest in the progress and development of each student in the faculty’s courses; to evaluate the didactic and clinical progress of each student in the faculty’s courses as expected by the Department of Nursing; to keep accurate records of academic standing of each student in the faculty’s courses; to submit promptly all reports of grades and other information required by the Director of the Nursing Program, the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, the Registrar, the Provost, and the President; and to submit promptly the faculty evaluation of clinical performance by the students and end of course summaries to the Chair of the Department of Nursing/Director of the Nursing Program. Each nursing faculty member is expected to meet with his or her classes as regularly scheduled. In case any faculty member is kept from his or her duties by illness, family needs, or other unforeseeable circumstances, the faculty member must inform the Chair of the Department in advance, if possible, so that arrangements may be made for assignments or a substitute instructor. If a faculty member finds it necessary to incur an extended absence from his or her regular duties, the faculty member must seek approval from the Chair of the Department. In addition, each nursing faculty member is expected to maintain adequate office hours so that he or she may be available to the students for conferences. Each nursing faculty member is expected to participate in student advising. Each nursing faculty member is expected to attend all meetings of the Heritage University Faculty Assembly and Faculty Senate, and the College of Arts and Sciences meetings; to attend commencements and convocations, to serve loyally and diligently on Nursing Faculty committees and Heritage University Committees; to assist the Chair of the Department of Nursing/Director of the Nursing Program and colleagues in carrying out the program of the department; and to cooperate fully with the trustees, the President, the Provost, and the Deans in promoting all the interests of the University. Each nursing faculty member is expected to continue to teach for the full scheduled class and clinical times designated by the Heritage University Catalog or as determined and scheduled by the Director of the Nursing Program and written on course syllabi, until the end of the session for which his or her services were engaged. Any faculty member who wishes release from his or her obligation to teach is expected to make a written request to the Chair of the Department of Nursing and Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Each nursing faculty member is expected to adhere to the Heritage University Faculty Handbook and to the Department of Nursing Faculty Handbook; to determine nursing faculty actions in accordance with the Department of Nursing Faculty policies; and to communicate according to the nursing faculty governance structure outlined in the Nursing Faculty Handbook. Each nursing faculty member is expected to maintain the highest professional standards of character and conduct; and to adhere to the Washington Administrative Code as it relates to the practice of nursing and nursing education, and to the American Nurses Association Code of Ethics with Interpretive Statements (2015); to respect the dignity of each student and faculty colleague, and to maintain compassionate and 3 Heritage University Department of Nursing Faculty Handbook 2018-2019 caring relationships with all Heritage students, faculty, staff and administrators with a commitment to the fair treatment of individuals, to integrity-preserving compromise, and to resolving conflict as outlined in the Department of Nursing Policy on Professionalism. During the regular academic session for which nursing faculty services have been contracted, nursing faculty members must collaborate with the Chair of the Department of Nursing to secure the approval of the Provost whenever they assume additional work for which they receive compensation (other than modest honoraria for activities directly related to their scholarly work). This would normally be allowed provided they do not engage in any occupations that conflict with their Heritage University duties, or reflect poorly

  • Community College Transfer Students COVID-19 Statement Washington's Baccalaureate Universities and Colleges
    Community College Transfer Students COVID-19 Statement Washington’s Baccalaureate Universities and Colleges April 7, 2020 Washington’s public and not-for-profit, private four-year colleges and universities understand the extraordinary circumstances of COVID-19 and its impact on students and families. As Washington higher education institutions, our first priority is contributing to the efforts to bolster the health and safety of our communities. As we do that, we support Washington’s community and technical college students as they maintain hope about their future and continue to pursue their collegiate goals. Each campus is here to help students and their families navigate community and technical college transfer to Washington’s baccalaureate institutions during these challenging times. Our four-year institutions continue to collaborate across their sectors and in partnership with Washington’s community and technical colleges. Our goal is to communicate the most recent policies and practices to ensure that students are successful in attaining their education and career goals. We also recognize that the impact of COVID-19 on students, families and institutions is fluid and changing. We are committed to communicating, collaborating and engaging students, families and partners now and in the future as we identify impacts, together we are: • Moving all activities related to transfer admitted student programs, transfer advising and campus visitations to a virtual experience/ platform, or we have made the decision to cancel events. • Integrating flexibility into the transfer process to ease, to the extent possible, the disruption for Washington’s community and technical college students. Each university or college has institutional microsites dedicated to COVID-19 information.
