About Nightingale College

• Monitor learner progress and maintain open communication throughout the coaching process, including grading and attendance tracking for assigned activities
• Develop, outline, and facilitate scheduled study sessions and 1:1 coaching appointments
• Complete initial and final evaluations for assigned learners and graduates, and make recommendations for transcript clearance
• Attend NCLEX faculty meetings, participate in committees, and contribute to shared decision-making and faculty activities as required
• Participate in the implementation of functional projects as they arise
• Maintain certification records as required by accreditation, facility, or state board of nursing standards
