Nursing Schools in Mississippi
The State of Mississippi is in need of Practical Nurses, LPN’s and LVN’s. Like most of the country, Mississippi is facing a nursing shortage that is only expected to get worse as our aging baby boomers reach retirement age.
The State of Mississippi realizes the crisis point of the nursing shortage within the state and is currently implementing a program that will allow high school students to enter a pilot program that will prepare them for a career in nursing as well as the ability to complete the NCLEX-PN®, the national exam required for state licensure.
Making the choice to enter the career field of nursing is not an easy one. Education takes time, and many people need to continue to work. With the advent of online education, people today can accomplish both their educational needs and their financial needs while remaining employed.
