Mission

The mission of the Associate Degree Nursing Program is to provide an accessible, diverse, quality, and equitable associate degree nursing program to prepare highly educated, dedicated, and motivated registered nurses for the community served by Coahoma Community College and beyond. The nursing faculty’s philosophical beliefs and values in regard to the concepts of Nursing, Society, Client, Health and Teaching/Learning provide the foundation for the curriculum and are reflected in the end-of-program student learning outcomes as they progress through the program of study.
