This Question From Mississippi LPN Programs | 1 Answer


Im thinking about moving to Biloxi this summer. Are there in junior/community colleges that offer and LPN program in Biloxi, or really close to Biloxi? Also, do they have any LPN programs that do not require pre reqs (the one in my town does not require them for LPN).
If not, what are the pre req courses?
I found MGCCC, but I dont know how close it is to Biloxi.

    I believe that you will discover that the closest *community college* to Biloxi, MS *with the program you seek* is Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College (MGCCC). At four of its locations (see below), it offers a Practical Nursing Program. It is a one-year (three semester) diploma program that begins in August of each school year.

    The Practical Nursing program is accredited by the Mississippi Department of Education and the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). Students who complete the program requirements, as identified by the Mississippi Department of Education, will be eligible to apply for LPN Licensure from the Mississippi Board of Nursing and take the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nursing (NCLEX-PN).

    MGCCC has several campuses. The Practical Nursing program is offered at the Jefferson Davis Campus in Gulfport, MS (approximately 10 miles from Biloxi); the Jackson County Campus in Gautier, MS (approximately 15 miles from Biloxi); the Perkinston Campus in Perkston, MS (approximately 40 miles from Biloxi); and the George County Center in Lucedale, MS (approximately 58 miles from Biloxi).

    For specific admissions requirements to the program and contact information for the program at each of the locations noted above, please see:
    http://www.mgccc.edu/~gcclpn/admission.htm
    http://www.mgccc.edu/~gcclpn/contact.htm

    Perhaps I should add that speaking directly with one or more of the MGCCC LPN contacts would seem to me to be the most efficient way to learn of alternatives should you seek alternatives. Each knows the geographical area well and each knows the programs, if any, at other, nearby schools.

    I hope that this information is helpful. Good Luck!
