Description
The Heritage College Nursing Program provides a part-time, three-year RN competency-based diploma program. Given that nursing is a practice-based profession, we believe that clinical experience is a vital and integral component of the curriculum, providing students with hands-on opportunities to practice their nursing skills under direct supervision of their clinical instructor. The clinical instructor supports student learning, liaises with assigned nurses in a clinical unit and collaborates with the Faculty Team Leader. The clinical instructor role is an essential and powerful component of nursing education.
DUTIES:
The College is seeking to hire part-time professors (Clinical Instructors) to teach credited courses (clinical) within the Nursing program in the Fall 2026.
180-A36-HR Pediatric Nursing
This course is delivered in an accelerated format over the last nine (9) weeks of the term. This course introduces fundamental nursing concepts essential for caring for children and families in pediatric hospital and community settings. Students will develop an understanding of growth and developmental milestones, lifestyle factors, pathologies, and nursing considerations related to pediatric patients in a multicultural society. Special emphasis is placed on mastering pediatric medication calculations, particularly weight-based dosing, to ensure safe and accurate medication administration for children. Ethical principles, patient rights and responsibilities, interdisciplinary collaboration, and social involvement are explored within the context of pediatric nursing. In laboratory and clinical settings, students apply their knowledge and skills to address patients' priority health concerns. High-fidelity simulation and virtual reality are integrated to enhance clinical decision-making skills, allowing students to engage in realistic, immersive learning experiences.
