NMSU-LC Undergraduate - BSN has started fall semester. There are clinical faculty challenges in Santa Fe because of a large admitted group of students. There is a retreat in the planning stages for BSN faculty, which will occur at New Mexico Tech.

NMSU-LC Graduate - A post-master’s certificates approved last May and five students were admitted to that program, which will result in the graduation of psych mental health practitioners. There are also a number of DNP students that can pursue the psych/mental health specialization.

DACC - Nursing program is fully accredited for five years. Standard 6, which is the section related to outcomes and is often a sticking point for programs, was not an issue. There were no areas identified for development in the curriculum section. LPN program will need to be accredited separate from the ADN program. DACC is fully staffed at this point, but will have two positions (one new) open soon.

NMSU-C - The Program has over 40 students. Congratulations were extended to the program for it’s positive NCLEX pass rate. The program’s next ACEN visit will be in February of 2019. There is a mid-October (10/15) meeting with NMNEC to discuss concerns related to curriculum.
