Caring for the Next Generation The School of Nursing @ NMSU

Welcome to the School of Nursing at New Mexico State University .

Our dynamic BSN and Graduate Programs provide a wide variety of options for the beginning and advanced nursing student.
Over the past 5 years, student enrollment has grown from 199 students to over 400 students. Our geographical location along the United States Mexico Border and our diverse student population provides all students with outstanding clinical experiences-acute care and community based.

Within the BSN Program are 3 options: 4 year pre-licensure BSN, 2nd degree accelerated BSN, and the RN to BSN option for returning nurses. Within our MSN program are 4 specialty tracks: Adult Health Clinical Nurse Specialist, Public/Community Health Clinical Nurse Specialist, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner/Clinical Nurse Specialist, and Nursing Administration.

The use of educational technologies is evident in all of our programs with the RN to BSN option now available online. The  Psychiatric-Mental Health MSN track also uses short on campus periods at the start of each semester along with online courses throughout the semester, and local practicum sites, to make this education available across the region. Not to mention our Doctorate of Philosophy in Nursing degree that is also available online with students coming to campus once a year and completing assignments online.

In support of our local communities, many faculty and students are involved in community service throughout the state of New Mexico.
