Position Summary: Johnson County Community College is seeking two (2) adjunct nursing faculty to teach in the Zamierowski Center for Healthcare Simulation (ZCHS). The ZCHS adjunct nursing faculty is a clinically experienced subject matter expert who is responsible for facilitating student learning and performance in the on-site simulation center. The ZCHS provides an immersive simulation learning experience for Associate Degree Nursing (ADN-Registered Nurse) students.
The adjunct nursing faculty will be responsible for working with faculty, students, staff, and external stakeholders to ensure that the highest quality simulation learning activities are efficiently integrated and implemented across the nursing curriculum. These positions involves the use of interactive and simulated technology, with evidence-based simulation models, to implement and evaluate simulation scenarios as an educational modality.
Adjunct nursing faculty will provide clinical, educational, and technical expertise in simulation-based activities in the ZCHS.

Faculty will be actively involved with scenario implementation, facilitation, and debriefing for learners. Student learning activities will include resolving simple-to-complex patient care situations via high-fidelity simulation. Adjunct nursing faculty are responsible for setting up and tearing down simulation scenario environments, and preconference activities. Other team duties may also be assigned.
Although simulation days would begin in the spring 2027 semester (late January/early February), current ZCHS team members would prefer to offer some training sessions late this fall for the new adjunct faculty.
