The purpose of the Associate Degree Nursing program is to prepare men and women for the role of registered nurse, competent to function as a professional and valuable member of the health care team in providing care for individuals, families and communities.
EMCC offers two entry options for the Associate Degree Nursing Program. The Generic option and the LPN to RN transition option.
The Transition option is for Licensed Practical Nurses who wish to become Registered Nurses. The program is designed to be completed in three semesters. The student will begin the transition program in the fall semester. The first semester of this program will be primarily on line with visits to the campus for testing and skills validations only. Upon successful completion of the first semester, the student will join the second year of the generic RN option.
This program prepares the student for entry level practice as a Registered Nurse.
1. If you have not applied for admission to EMCC within the last 12 months, go to http://www.eastms.edu/and select the “Apply Now!” link to submit an online application for admission to East Mississippi Community College. You must indicate nursing under your major. Do not designate RN or Practical Nursing, just “nursing”. Acceptance to East Mississippi Community College does not guarantee acceptance to the Nursing program. Letters of pending acceptance will come from the Director of Nursing.
2. Submit a completed nursing application to the Health Sciences Office Manager. Click here for the application packet.
3. Submit an official high school transcript from an accredited high school showing date of graduation and principal’s signature OR submit an official GED transcript with satisfactory scores.
4. Submit transcripts from all colleges previously attended. The transcript must go to the registrar’s office. Transcripts cannot be stamped “issued to student”. Transfer credit is not given for nursing classes taken at other institutions.
5. Any applicant who has ever attended another nursing program must have a letter of good standing from their former nursing school director sent directly to the EMCC Director of Nursing. A letter of good standing indicates that the student is eligible for immediate readmission into the former nursing program. Applicants without letters of good standing from previous nursing schools will not be considered for this program. Applicants who have been unsuccessful more than once in any nursing school will not be eligible for admission into the Associate Degree Nursing program at EMCC for a period of five years from last attendance in a nursing program.
