 The University of Mississippi Medical Center has the only accelerated BSN program in the state. The NCIN program has helped the school build a strong leadership development program, which includes multiple opportunities for scholars to meet and learn from nursing leaders in Mississippi. The scholars also engage in peer-to-peer mentoring with traditional BSN students.

SUCCESS STORIES

Like many New Careers in Nursing Scholars, Jeremy Clark did not originally plan to become a nurse.
In August of 2013, he had the distinction of being the first African American male NCIN scholar to graduate from the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) School of Nursing.
