INTRODUCTION
So who and what really is a Dean and a nursing faculty member? How do you
become one? What does it mean to be one? What are the perks of being one?
Becoming a dean is a rewarding yet challenging career transition that may leave
you struggling to prioritize new responsibilities and navigate difficult decision-making. As
a dean, it’s your job to lead and guide the school’s staff and students toward achieving
established objectives.
A school dean of nursing provides leadership and counsel to faculty staff and
students, monitors trends in nursing education, participates in research, ensures
adherence to federal and state and university regulations, maintains accreditation
standards, and establishes strategic partnerships. Although the employment
requirements for this position may vary with institutions, you typically need an advanced
degree, preferably a doctorate in a nursing field, and have extensive teaching and
administrative experience.
The roles and responsibilities of college and university faculty members are
closely tied to the central functions of higher education. Being a nursing faculty member
is one of those specialties benefiting from having the skills and knowledge paramount
for advancing the nursing profession.
The responsibilities of faculty involved in teaching clinical nursing courses are

considerable. Faculty are legally and ethically obligated to be knowledgeable of the
legal policies and procedures pertinent to the clinical settings in which their students are
placed. They also be mindful of the responsibilities afforded nursing students in their
particular academic setting. And finally, faculty are required to understand and adhere
to the guidelines and systems that are applicable to the roles of clinical nurse educator
and academic faculty in their particular institution.
Based on the Guidelines for the Implementation of CHED Memorandum Order (CMO)
No. 46 s 2012, CMO No. 15 Series of 2017 implements the "shift from competency-
based standards to outcome-based education." It specifies the "core competencies"
expected of BS Nursing graduates "regardless of the type of Higher Education
Institution (HEI) they graduate from." However, in "recognition of the spirit of outcomes-
based education and the typology of HEIs," this PSG also provides "ample space for
HEIs offering BS Nursing program to innovate in the curriculum in line with the
assessment of how best to achieve learning outcomes in their particular contexts and
their respective missions.
