The New Mexico Nursing Education Consortium (NMNEC ⊛ “nem-nek”) is a New Mexico state nonprofit professional organization that provides curriculum and faculty support to its member programs—state- and tribal-funded nursing education programs that voluntarily collaborate to advance high-quality, resource-efficient nursing education to meet New Mexico’s nursing workforce needs.
Member programs have collaboratively developed—and continue to update—a common pre-licensure RN curriculum designed to support multiple pathways into the nursing profession.
NMNEC provides curriculum coordination and faculty support, along with the resources that make effective collaboration and ongoing innovation possible across its member programs.
