The New Mexico Nursing Education Consortium (NMNEC ⊛ “nem-nek”) is a statewide collaborative of New Mexico’s state- and tribal-funded nursing education programs working together to advance high-quality, resource-efficient nursing education that meets the state’s workforce needs.

NMNEC member programs have collaboratively developed—and continue to refine—a common pre-licensure RN curriculum that supports multiple pathways into nursing. They also work together on initiatives that strengthen nursing education and respond to the state’s evolving workforce needs.

To support this collaboration, NMNEC has established NMNEC Support, a New Mexico nonprofit organization. NMNEC Support provides the coordination, faculty support, and administrative infrastructure that make this work possible.

NMNEC Support is fiscally sponsored by the New Mexico Community Foundation. To support NMNEC’s work, click the DONATE link above.
