Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Nursing] From New Mexico State University

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, 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. These two options are designed for students with an undergraduate degree in another field who wish to pursue a Baccalaureate degree in Nursing. Students from diverse academic backgrounds who seek a rigorous education in professional nursing will complete approximately 67 undergraduate credits. Successful graduates of the BSN program option would be eligible to take the National Council of State Boards of Nursing Exam (NCLEX) for licensure as a registered nurse (RN). All prerequisite and requisite course work taken at other institutions will be evaluated for admission to the 2nd Degree alternate route BSN program option.

Graduation from a CCNE-accredited program can facilitate a student’s acceptance into advanced educational and certification programs, graduate schools, or the armed forces.
