Mississippi HB648 would allow Coast Guard Health Services Technicians to take the exam for LPN licensure.

Mississippi HB648 amends the Mississippi Code to allow individuals who have completed the training required for a United States Coast Guard Health Services Technician and then completed two years of clinical experience providing direct patient care to take the examination for licensure as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). This change aims to facilitate the transition of Coast Guard Health Services Technicians into the nursing profession in Mississippi.
