POSITION START: January 1st, 2026
FACULTY OVERVIEW:
KPU proudly offers all learners opportunities to achieve success in a diverse range of programs that blend theory and practice, critical understanding, and social and ethical awareness necessary for good citizenship and rewarding careers.
The Faculty of Health at Kwantlen Polytechnic University invites applications for one regular full time faculty position to teach in our Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN Program). The appointment is effective January 1, 2026.
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program is a full-time cohort program that prepares nursing students to work with individuals, families and communities with varying health and health promotion needs across diverse settings. The BSN program utilizes a concept-based pedagogical approach that is based on the concepts of caring and health promotion and has been developed in consultation with nursing practitioners, theorists, professional associations, and various government ministries.
Pedagogy and teaching methodologies encourage the development of critical thinking and the discovery of personal meaning. There is an emphasis on practice experiences as the foundation of nursing and the recognition that nurses' work requires thoughtful, reflective action.
Program courses and labs prepare nursing students to practice with clients in a wide variety of institutional and community settings. Regular faculty engage in teaching, student support, service to the school and program and professional development activities. They are entitled to paid vacation leave, professional development leave and benefits.
