Dear Prospective Student and Visitor,

Thank you for your interest in the Associate Degree Nursing Program of Coahoma Community College. The RN program has two programs of study. The traditional 3 year program is a six semester and one summer program. Students are exposed to clinical experiences which include direct patient care and clinical simulations. The school of nursing lab is equipped with virtual simulators. Students have the opportunity to obtain an additional optional summer externship course. The LPN/RN Fast track program allows LPN’s with one year of continuous practice to complete coursework and be eligible to write for the NCLEX-RN in 11 months.

The ADN program:

• Awards an Associate in Applied Science Degree in Nursing to its graduates
• Is a program that continually concentrates on providing an educational program that is clearly excellent and responsive to the needs of the community
• Believes that students should be active participants in their own learning
• Is small enough to know each student as a unique individual
• Offers planned teaching-learning experiences in the classroom, skills laboratory, and clinical setting each semester

We are creating an environment that shifts from the traditional faculty-student framework to one in which the student is a partner in the teaching-learning process. The school of nursing atmosphere is student friendly and future-oriented. Any prospective student will be joining a community of committed faculty with strong clinical expertise that will prepare the graduate to enter the nursing workforce. The faculty continually provides the most current information, trends, and requirements that promote a healthy transition to practice a successful career.
