New <strong>Faculty</strong> Orientation <strong>Handbook</strong><br />
<strong>Nursing</strong> Program<br />
The <strong>Saddleback</strong> <strong>College</strong> Associate Degree <strong>Nursing</strong> (ADN) Program was<br />
established in 1971 and has an outstanding reputation in the health care<br />
community. The program is accredited by the National League for <strong>Nursing</strong> and<br />
the Board of Registered <strong>Nursing</strong>. Graduates of the program are eligible to take<br />
the State Board licensure exam for Registered Nurses. The pass rate for our<br />
graduates is consistently above the state and national average. Graduates of the<br />
program have successfully been employed in a variety of nursing positions and<br />
many transfer into upper degree nursing programs.<br />
<strong>Saddleback</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>Nursing</strong> Program Welcomes You<br />
This handbook has been prepared to assist you in becoming part of the faculty at<br />
<strong>Saddleback</strong> <strong>College</strong>. Your mentor and/or lead teacher will assist you with<br />
additional questions you may have. You will also be given an ADN nursing<br />
student handbook to refer to specific policies and procedures outlined in this<br />
handbook.<br />
I would ask that you pay close attention to the clinical orientation, section IX. It<br />
includes detailed instructions concerning expectations, both student and faculty,<br />
for clinical teaching. I know this will be valuable information as you begin<br />
teaching. In addition, the appendix cites various faculty development CDs and<br />
Web sites to increase your comfort and assist you in teaching/learning strategies.<br />
We are pleased that you have chosen to work with us at <strong>Saddleback</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
Please do not hesitate to ask questions and seek our assistance.<br />
Best regards,<br />
Tammy Rice<br />
Assistant Dean, Health Sciences and Human Services<br />
<strong>Nursing</strong> Program Director<br />
