Nursing Education Opportunities in Mississippi - 2006.

Published by the Mississippi Hospital Association, this information has been prepared to provide you with a comprehensive overview of the many different nursing programs within our state. Basic information is provided related to practical nursing, associate degree, baccalaureate, master's and Ph. D. degree programs. You will find information to assist you as you begin your educational preparation as a nurse or to expand your education and achieve an additional level of nursing preparation. A description of each level of nursing preparation is provided, along with identification of the schools which offer that level of educational preparation.

In this information, you will also find an executive summary of the Mississippi Competency Model. This model was developed to enhance the education and practice skills of Mississippi nurses. The Model identifies three major nursing roles and distinguishes four levels of nursing care providers. The Mississippi Council of Deans and Directors of Schools of Nursing is committed to identifying and preparing a nursing workforce that will meet the health care needs of Mississippi. This Council, in collaborations with other entities, continues to work with the Office of Nursing Workforce Redevelopment to test and refine the Mississippi Competency Model and to prepare a nursing workforce that will meet the health care needs of Mississippians.
