Facilities

The College of Nursing occupies three floors of the Nursing/Pharmacy Building located within the Health Sciences Center complex. The building houses nursing classrooms and seminar rooms, faculty offices, student services offices, Student Nurses Association offices, and skills laboratories. The Health Sciences Center Library is adjacent to the College.

The Health Sciences Center is comprised of the College of Nursing, School of Medicine, College of Pharmacy, and Allied Health Departments. Clinical facilities include the University of New Mexico Hospital (including neonatal intensive care, a burn unit, and a Level I Trauma Center), a nationally recognized Cancer Research and Treatment Center, University Children's Hospital, a children's rehabilitation hospital (Carrie Tingley Hospital), a Mental Health Center, and a Children's Psychiatric Hospital. UNM Children's Hospital and Critical Care Pavilion opened in June 2007. The 476,555 square foot expansion, provides six new floors of clinical space, including a maternity center, newborn intensive care unit, adult critical care units, emergency and trauma services, private patient rooms, and two dedicated floors for UNM Children's Hospital. The new hospital stands 120 feet off the ground. Visit the UNM Children's Hospital here.

Other major clinical facilities available to students in nursing include regional and community hospitals, health departments, rehabilitation facilities, long-term care facilities, and social services agencies. The region surrounding Albuquerque and sites throughout the state, including Indian Health Services, provide multiple opportunities to gain insights into the tri-cultures of the Southwest.
