| an Associate Degree Nursing Program at East Mississippi Community College’s Golden Triangle campus

The State College Board of the Institutions of Higher Learning has approved an Associate Degree Nursing Program at East Mississippi Community College’s Golden Triangle campus.
The decision came during the board’s regular monthly meeting, held Thursday morning at the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg – and after several requests from EMCC officials for permission to establish the program. EMCC is the only community college in the state without an Associate Degree Nursing program.
“We’re very pleased with the news and thankful to the IHL for its decision,” said Dr. Paul Miller, vice president of EMCC’s Golden Triangle campus.
“EMCC is committed to removing the barriers between people and education, between people and their desire to improve their lives – whether those barriers involve geography, scheduling or financial need. Now that the first step has been taken, and the program has been approved, the real work begins as we hire new faculty and develop the curriculum.”
Pat Clowers, a master’s degree-level nurse and director of EMCC’s Licensed Practical Nursing program, will take the lead in the year-long process. EMCC is expected to enroll its first Associate Degree Nursing students in January 2010.
The new ADN program comes at an auspicious time, as Mississippi faces a critical nursing shortage, large numbers of people living in rural areas and an aging population of baby boomers.
The question of an ADN program at EMCC has been before the College Board for several years.
In September, a review team consisting of both IHL staff members and nursing-education administrators recommended that EMCC be allowed to start developing a curriculum and hiring the appropriate faculty members to teach ADN classes. The 12-member College Board delayed approval until this month in order to seek additional information. For more information, visit www.eastms.edu.source
