Nursing (Associate Degree)
Fulton Campus

Welcome to the Associate Degree Nursing Web Page! We appreciate your interest in our program. The Associate Degree Nursing program is designed to provide qualified students with the educational preparation for a career as a Registered Nurse. The prescribed curriculum consists of nursing theory, general education and clinical experiences. The graduate is prepared to give direct care to clients with commonly recurring health problems in a variety of health care settings. The graduate of this program earns an Associate of Applied Science degree and is eligible to apply to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) to become a Registered Nurse. The title of Registered Nurse (RN) is awarded after successful completion of the licensure exam. The Board of Nursing may, at its discretion, deny any application for licensure due to, but not limited to, conviction of a felony, commission of fraud or deceit in the application process or addiction to alcohol or other drugs. The Associate Degree Nursing program is accredited by the Mississippi Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning and by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC), 3343 Peachtree Road NE Suite 850, Atlanta, GA 30326.
