The Practical Nursing program prepares the individual to assist in providing general nursing care requiring basic knowledge of the biological, physical, behavioral, and sociological sciences; and of nursing procedures which do not require the substantial skills, judgment, and knowledge required of a registered nurse. This care is performed under the direction of a registered nurse, licensed physician, or licensed dentist.
Students that complete the program requirements, as identified by the Mississippi Department of Education, will be eligible to apply for LPN licensure. The graduate of the program, once licensed, functions as a provider of care, a member of a profession, and a manager as stated in the Mississippi Competency Model of 1997.
