Nursing Program DescriptionThe NMJC Allied Health and Nursing Registered Nursing Program opened in 1969 and has been nationallyaccredited since 1975 by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC) or theAccreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN).The mission of NMJC as a comprehensive community college is to promote success through learning.

The curriculum for both programoptions includes classroom, laboratory, and supervised clinical instruction in real and simulated environments.New Mexico Nursing Education Consortium (NMNEC)Statewide, Concept-based, Common Nursing CurriculumOver the past two decades, information computerization caused a vast expansion in the volume ofhealthcare-related knowledge. Nurse educators were challenged to examine the traditional methodsused to educate nurses and develop a new approach toward nursing education in an effort to managethis ever-expanding, computerized healthcare knowledge base.Additionally, the American health care system is evolving and patients’ needs are changing. Thepopulation is growing older and becoming more diverse; health needs are becoming more complex; andhealthcare technology is advancing rapidly. To ensure that nurses are prepared to meet these challenges,educational processes are being redesigned.In response to the challenges faced by nursing education providers across the nation, a group of nurseeducators in New Mexico developed a statewide curriculum plan for educating registered nurses in NewMexico. This group is known as the New Mexico Nursing Education Consortium (NMNEC). New MexicoJunior College (NMJC) Nursing Program and University of New Mexico (UNM) College of Nursing aremembers of this consortium. The directors and faculty of both programs were actively involved in thedevelopment of the statewide, concept-based, curriculum plan. NMJC Nursing Program is proud to bethe first rural community college to implement the new statewide curriculum in the fall semester of2014. The new curriculum was designed to more efficiently manage the growing healthcare knowledgebase, allow for seamless transfer of coursework among New Mexico nursing schools, and provide thefoundation for partnerships with universities in New Mexico to offer baccalaureate nursing educationfrom additional New Mexico communities. http://www.nmnec.org/106/17/2020
