Welcome to the Board of Nursing

The Mississippi Board of Nursing is a consumer protection agency with authority to regulate the practice of nursing through licensure as provided for by the Mississippi State Code.

How do I apply for licensure in Mississippi if I currently hold a RN or LPN license from another state that is not Compact?

You will need to apply for a Mississippi license by endorsement if you have never held a Mississippi license. If you have held a Mississippi license at some point, you will need to apply by reinstatement. You will register or enter your username & password to excess the nurse gateway to submit the online application & fee.
