Mississippi Licensure Information and Requirements
For the latest up-to-date information on licensure requirements and fees, visit the Mississippi Board of Nursing website or contact the Mississippi Board of Nursing licensing division at (601) 957-6300.
Licensure Requirements
If you hold a multi-state nursing license, you’re in luck because Mississippi is a compact state. But, if you hold a nursing license in a state outside the NLC, you can still apply for Mississippi licensure by endorsement.
To receive licensure by endorsement, you’ll need to:
- Have a valid United States social security number.
- Complete the online application.
- Provide your official transcript of graduation from an approved or accredited RN nursing program.
- Pay the application fee of $100.
- Pass a criminal background check. After submitting the endorsement application, you will be able to register for your CBC (criminal background check). You can select either to schedule an appointment to have fingerprinting done at our office, or you may request to have a fingerprint card mailed to you. Please contact our office to speak with the CBC department for additional information.
- Submit the verification of licensure by endorsement form. Verification must be submitted from the location of the first licensing. You must also submit verification from your current location, if different from your initial licensure location. Mississippi permits licensure verification through Nursys®. If your original Board does not participate in Nursys® verifications, you will need to contact your state’s Board of Nursing to inquire how to request the verification.
- Submit evidence of continuing basic nursing competencies outlined below.
The Mississippi board of nursing may grant a nonrenewable, temporary license that is valid for 90 days. The applicant must submit an application for a temporary permit, along with a fee of $25.00.
But, don’t let these requirements overwhelm you! The team at Trusted Nurse Staffing can guide you through every step of the process. And the good news? We reimburse you for all out-of-state licensing fees.
Licensure Fees
Application fees for licensure by endorsement in Mississippi include:
- Application fee: $100
- Background check: $75
- Temporary permit: $25
Nurse Licensure Compact Status
Mississippi joined the Nurse Licensure Compact in January 2018.
Is Mississippi a Walk-Through State?
Mississippi is not a walk-through state.
Mississippi CEU Requirements
The CEU requirements in Mississippi are as follows:
- 20 contact hours every 2 years
Mississippi CEU requirements include written documentation of one of the following:
- Successful completion of a board-approved Reorientation Program for RNs or LPNs within the previous five-year period prior to application.
- Completion of twenty contact hours of CEU directly related to nursing within the two-year period prior to application. Acceptable CEU offerings are those currently approved, accredited, provided, or offered by a recognized credentialing agency.
- Successful completion of a minimum of three semester hours of nursing credit offered by a nursing education program within the two-year period prior to application. An acceptable nursing program is one that is approved or accredited by the appropriate agency within the state.
What Is the Average Travel Nursing Salary in Mississippi?
The pay for travel nurse jobs in Mississippi is $1,233/week, below the national average of $1,417/week.
But, don’t base your decision to work as a travel nurse in Mississippi on pay alone. The local cost of living will impact your overall take-home as well. Plus, travel nurses with Trusted Nurse Staffing receive added benefits like housing stipends, 401k plans, and signing and completion bonuses.
