The Nursing students in both Grants and Alamogordo receive the same instruction as the nursing students at NMSU’s main campus, via interactive television (ITV) through videoconferencing and online components. Instruction is delivered to both sites from main campus in a real-time synchronous two-way interactive environment. Students may also share access to course materials and assignments online using Instructure Canvas.
The BSN Degree Program offers four degree options to accommodate either the beginning nursing student with the traditional BSN degree at New Mexico State University, the returning registered nurse (RN) who wishes to complete a BSN, the 2nd degree accelerated Roadrunner BSN option as well as the 2nd degree seeking Pathways BSN option for those who already have a bachelor’s degree in another field.
NMSU’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program is approved by the New Mexico Board of Nursing and accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. Approval by the New Mexico Board of Nursing is required for graduates to be eligible for the National Council Licensing Examination for licensure as a Registered Nurse.
