MISSISSIPPI INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING

NURSING EDUCATION

Nursing education in Mississippi is regulated by the Board of Trustees of

State Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL) for registered nurse (RN)

programs at the Associate, Baccalaureate, Master and Doctoral degree

educational levels (Miss. Code [1991 Supp.] § 37-129-1, et seq.). The

Mississippi Community College Board (MCCB) regulates the practical

nursing programs in the state.

Registered nursing programs in Mississippi must be state approved and

nationally accredited by one of two national, non-profit accrediting bodies,

Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) and

Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). National

accreditation of nursing programs is desirable because of the quality of

standards, emphasis placed on outcomes, and importance in the national

marketplace for recruiting faculty and students.

The Nursing Education Opportunities in Mississippi publication, developed in

partnership between IHL Nursing Education and the Mississippi Council of

Deans and Directors of Schools of Nursing (MCDDSN), provides a snapshot

of the state’s twenty-three Schools of Nursing and the types of programs

offered. Geographically located throughout the state, the nursing schools

provide those who are interested in pursuing a career in nursing the

opportunity to attend a college or university near home.

For additional information, please visit the IHL Nursing Education website

http://www.mississippi.edu/nursing/ or the MCCB website

Sincerely,

Janette S. McCrory, DNP, RN

Director of Nursing Education

NURSING EDUCATION IN MISSISSIPPI

There are six types of nursing programs in Mississippi. Two types of programs prepare

graduates to be eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered

Nurses (NCLEX-RN ®). These are the Associate Degree Nursing Programs and the

Baccalaureate Degree Nursing Programs. Practical Nursing Programs prepare graduates to

be eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses

(NCLEX-PN ®). A fourth program provides nurses with a Master’s Degree in Nursing.

The fifth program in Mississippi prepares nurses with a Doctor of Philosophy Degree

(Ph.D.) in Nursing. The sixth and newest nursing education program in Mississippi prepares

nurses with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP).

The associate degree programs are located in 15 community or junior colleges and two

public universities. The eight baccalaureate degree programs are located in five public

universities and three private universities/colleges. Five of the six master’s degree program,

two of the three Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in nursing and four of the Doctor of Nursing

Practice (DNP) programs are located in public universities. The 6th master’s degree

program and 3rd PhD in nursing program is located in a private university (Table I). In

addition to the academic programs, the University of Mississippi Medical Center School of

Nursing is an approved CE provider.

The title Registered Nurse (RN) means that a person has graduated from an approved

School of Nursing, passed the national licensing examination for registered nurses and paid

a fee to practice within the state. The parameters of practice are set by law, and the control

of practice is vested with the Mississippi Board of Nursing. A person may not use the title

RN or practice as a nurse until the licensing examination is passed.

The state accreditation of degree programs of nursing in Mississippi is vested by state law

in the Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning. State accreditation of a

nursing program is necessary for a graduate of that program to be eligible to take the

licensing examination for RNs. State accreditation in nursing education aims to protect the

autonomy and individuality of the various educational programs it serves, to provide

accountability for the protections of public against ill-prepared nurses, and to assist in the

transfer of students and graduates form one program to another. In order to accomplish this

mission, the Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning has established

“Mississippi Nursing Degree Programs Accreditation Standards”, which all nursing

programs must meet. The criteria established by the Board of Trustees for admission into

nursing programs are found in Tables II, III and IV. These are minimal criteria and

some schools may have standards which are higher. The standards of each school will

befound in its school catalog. Movement from one level of nursing to a higher level is

possible through articulation. Articulation is the process by which a person with one level

of licensure or education is facilitated in the advancement of licensure or educational

6

credentials. It is possible within the state of Mississippi for LPNs to obtain their RN license

and for RNs to obtain a baccalaureate, master’s degree, and doctoral degree. For specific

information regarding articulation policies and procedures, contact individual colleges or

universities listed in this brochure.

Practical nursing programs are located in public community/junior colleges and one

private college. All of the community/junior colleges which have associate degree nursing

programs also have practical nursing programs. Practical nursing programs are under the

supervision of the Mississippi Community College Board. Inquiries concerning these

programs should be directed to that office. Admission criteria for practical nursing

programs are located in Table V.

Inquiries concerning practical nursing programs should be directed to:

MISSISSIPPI NURSE OF THE FUTURE COMPETENCY MODEL

The Mississippi Nurse of the Future Competency Model is the culmination of a collaborative

effort of many nursing leaders in the state and one outcome of the Mississippi Council of Deans

and Directors of Schools of Nursing (MCDDSN) Education Redesign Taskforce (ERTF)

initiative. The 2011 adoption of this model demonstrates the MCDDSN’s most recent

implementation of a successful model that def ines core competencies for entry-level

nursing practice. The MCDDSN is committed to continuous quality improvement in nursing

education, including preparing nurses of the future with competencies for effective nursing

practice and leadership to advance health care.

In 1997, Mississippi was one of the first states to develop and adopt a competency model. The

desired outcomes of this model were to enhance the education and practice of Mississippi nurses,

facilitate articulation across nursing education programs, and assist employers in understanding

the differences in expected skill sets based on educational degrees. Competencies were identified

according to roles of nurses with varying educational backgrounds encompassing LPN, ADN,

BSN, and MSN preparation. In 2002, the Mississippi Competency Model was revised to include

PhD competencies. Schools of nursing have used the Model as a basis for designing curricula

and policies to improve the articulation among educational programs and upward mobility in

nurses in Mississippi.

The MCDDSN Strategic Plan for Education Redesign, developed in 2009 and updated annually,

provides the framework and guidance for Mississippi’s continued work to address the changing

demographics and societal needs for nursing and healthcare in an increasingly complex

healthcare environment. The Strategic Plan depicts nursing education priorities, resources

needed, short-term and long-term outcomes. One track of work emanating from the 2010

strategic plan was the appointment of the Education Redesign Task Force (ERTF), charged with:

1. Updating the MS Competency Model with core competencies for the nurse of the

future;

2. Reviewing best practice models for curriculum redesign;

3. Creating models for seamless academic progression across education levels, and;

4. Facilitating voluntary implementation of a state-wide curriculum model that

integrates essential competencies for nursing practice.

The ERTF brought together statewide stakeholders in nursing education and practice to review

national recommendations and guidelines for nursing practice, national nursing education

accreditation standards and other state competency models. The initial review by stakeholders

spearheaded focus group sessions among practice partners to identify gaps between the 1997

competencies and core competencies for future nursing practice. The outcome of the critical

analysis of existing documents and stakeholder meetings led to the eventual adoption of the Nurse

25

of the Future Nursing Core Competencies© (Massachusetts Department of Higher Education

Nursing Initiative, 2010) as the Mississippi Nursing Competency Model: Nurse of the Future

Nursing Core Competencies, to replace the existing 2002 model.

The MS Nursing Competency Model identifies the ten Nurse of the Future (NOF) Nursing Core

Competencies and the knowledge, attitudes and skills associated with each. The competencies

are designed to guide curriculum development and implementation in prelicensure nursing

programs. The model provides the foundation for further development of depth and scope of the

competencies for advanced nursing practice at the master’s and doctoral levels. To download a

Competencies, go to http://www.iteachnursingms.org/
