UNM-Gallup Nursing Program
The UNM-Gallup Nursing Program opened in March 2002 with full approval of the New Mexico Board of Nursing. Classes have graduated twice a year since the first class of thirteen graduated in December 2003. Students who graduate from the Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) program are eligible to sit for the NCLEX-RN exam and become registered nurses. The program continues to operate under the authority of the New Mexico Board of Nursing with full approval with warning through May 10, 2025. The nursing education program is nationally accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) until Spring 2027.
Our Program has determined it meets Professional Licensure requirements in New Mexico. We have not yet determined whether it meets the requirements for all other states. If you intend to seek licensure outside of New Mexico, the UNM-Gallup Nursing Program recommends that you contact the Board of Nursing for that state to ensure the most up-to-date information regarding licensure.
