The Nurse Administrator is responsible for overseeing program administration, strategic planning, program development, implementation, and evaluation. Their primary role is to lead and manage the Nursing Education Program (NEP), ensuring its effectiveness and compliance with regulatory and accreditation standards. To maintain focus on program administration, the Nurse Administrator should not be assigned curriculum instructional duties that may detract from their leadership responsibilities.

The Nurse Administrator’s release time from instructional duties should align with national accreditation recommendations, acknowledging the distinct nature of their role. The college does assign up to six hours of instruction per week to the Nursing Administrator. Any modifications to the Nurse Administrator’s workload that extend beyond the administrative responsibilities of the Nursing Education Program (NEP) must be reported to the Board by the Governing Organization.

Participating in statewide and national initiatives that support nursing education. Serving as the Board-authorized official to sign licensure applications, ensuring compliance with NEP completion requirements. Exceptions require Board approval. Establishing and maintaining community partnerships to align the NEP with employer and community needs. Engaging in professional development activities that enhance expertise in administration, teaching, and nursing practice. Assessing and determining the need for additional faculty release time for administrative duties. Acting as the primary liaison between the NEP and the Board. Ensuring the NEP has sufficient fiscal, physical, technical, and learning resources to support its stability, growth, and effectiveness. Managing the budget and institutional resources in compliance with governing policies. Making budgetary recommendations based on input from faculty and staff. Minimum Qualifications: Master’s degree in Nursing, and a Maine RN license are required. The successful applicant must have 3-5 years of recent experience in the practice of patient care. Teaching experience is preferred, including effective presentation skills. Demonstrated professionalism, strong interpersonal skills, and a collaborative work style are essential.
