SWC Supports. Here are comments from our Director of Nursing: I'm glad they are revising curriculum. Our ADN curriculum was last formally revised over 10 years ago. Wea are in the beginning stage of revision, mapping our plan for a projected fall 2024 implementation. I can't tell much for the titles of the courses but nothing stands out as problematic to me. I don't see a critical thinking course but maybe it's a thread? Thanks much! SG

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.
