Nursing
The Northeast Mississippi Community College Associate Degree Nursing Program strives "to prepare a competent, caring professional who can attain licensure as a Registered Nurse and enter the workforce."
This is a 12-month program consisting of classroom work and clinical experience in practical nursing education. Students must complete this course of study within three years. The Board of Nursing may refuse the application for licensure of any applicant who has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor or has charges pending on such issues. Graduates of this program meet the educational requirements to sit for the Licensed Practical Nurse Licensure examination.
Students planning to transfer to a BSN program at a senior institution should follow the curriculum guidelines and application deadline dates specific to the transfer institution. All students planning to transfer should personally contact the School of Nursing of the transfer institution at least one full academic year before the projected date of transfer to meet admission requirements, curriculum prerequisites, application deadlines, etc. A maximum of 62 hours of coursework may be transferred.
