We promote continuous education. You can be working on your MSN in one concentration and then add on a Post-Master's Certificate (PMC) in another.
Earn a Master of Science in Nursing degree at UNM. Prepare to serve as a nurse educator. Lead as a nurse administrator. Provide care in the full scope of your license as an advanced practice registered nurse or a nurse-midwife.
I chose to go to UNM College of Nursing because of the focus on the needs of the rural communities and underserved populations. I find that in working with underserved communities I am making a positive impact on future vulnerable generations.
Lucky for you, students may take graduate courses without a clinical component if they are not licensed to practice nursing in the state of New Mexico.
