The UNM College of Nursing has been awarded two grants to support enrolled students. These funds can help offset educational expenses and reduce student debt after graduation. Learn more about eligibility and funding opportunities.
We are committed to rural health care education. We will do our best to ensure you have rural clinic experiences. We cannot guarantee clinical site rotation locations. But we make an effort to place students from rural areas in their community if they desire to have a clinical rotation there.
The College of Nursing is committed to serving rural and under-resourced communities; travel may be required for your concentration. Travel times and expenses may vary and may require extended overnight stays.
Please reach out to our Financial Aid Officers to discuss available options to you.
Before starting your clinical experiences, you are required to complete and track all Professional Documentation Requirements. Find out what your requirements are.
We love our preceptors and know you will, too!
Who are preceptors? They are our faculty in the community. They volunteer their time to supervise you in your clinical experiences. They give us their most valuable gift – time. Without them, you could not complete your education.
Many of them are alums. They were in your shoes and depended on preceptors, too.
Remember to thank your preceptor. A little thank you goes a long way. We have cards outside the Clinical Affairs office. Send an email to nominate them for a Preceptor Award.
Preceptors are a valuable piece of the education process because they provide a glimpse into how it works in the real world. Especially in a rural community like ours, students can see the service we provide and challenges we face in an underserved rural community with limited resources.
We are happy to answer your questions. You just need to contact the right person.
For concerns about your rotations or worried about your hours, contact your program coordinator.
For questions regarding credentialing, EHR training and placement, contact the Clinical Affairs team.
You will work with fellow health care workers in the field, so why not start here? We make it easy for you with the IPE at the UNM Health Sciences Center. The college is committed to IPE events and program designed for you.
