Holmes Community College has been ranked the #3 best nursing program in Mississippi by RegisteredNursing.org, a nursing advocacy organization. The mission of RegisteredNursing.org is to help those interested in pursuing a career in registered nursing.
“This is such a great honor to be acknowledged,” said Holmes ADN Assistant Director Dr. Alice Austin. “Faculty and students have worked hard over the years to overcome multiple obstacles, so this acknowledgement is quite an honor for Holmes Community College Associate Degree Nursing Program.”
Nursing programs were assessed on several factors which represent how well a program supports students towards licensure and beyond. The organization analyzed past and present first time NCLEX-RN pass-rates, weighted by year. To learn more about the methodology used visit https://www.registerednursing.org/rn-ranking-methodology/.
