Course Report

Program Requirements Narrative

This program change is part of the new curriculum launching within the nursing department. The old curriculum is over 25 years old. This curriculum will be different from the old curriculum and use a hybrid concept-based teaching method. The students who start in first semester with the new curriculum in Fall of 2022 will be the first students to use this method of teaching in the nursing program at Palomar. The curriculum will change in the second semester N118 Spring of 2023, then third semester N217 in Fall of 2023 and then fourth semester 218 in Spring of 2024

Palomar College submitted the appropriate LMI from the COE. The COE recommends proceeding with developing a program or a program modification because 1) a supply gap exists for this occupation; 2) their entry-level and median earnings are above the living wage; and 3) a high number of annual openings exist.
