For those in the area who are interested: EMCC to Get New Nursing Program

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 in Mayhew.

EMCC was the only community college in the state without one.

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 ADN students in January 2010.
