Nurses; authorize US Coast Guard Health Services Technicians to take exam to be licensed as an LPN.

Summary

The bill would amend Mississippi’s nursing licensure rules so that anyone who has completed Coast Guard Health Services Technician training and then worked at least two years providing direct patient care could apply to sit for the licensed practical nurse (LPN) exam. It places these technicians in the same category as other military medics already eligible for the pathway. The change is intended to broaden the pool of qualified practical nurses in the state.
