Congratulations to the 16 new Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) graduates who were recently honored at the Southern Miss Gulf Park pinning ceremony!

Fourteen students completed the accelerated BSN pathway, which allows students who already have a bachelor's degree in another field to pursue a nursing profession in as little as 12 months. Two working registered nurses earned their degrees through the fully online RN-BSN pathway, enabling them to advance their education while continuing their nursing careers.

Through rigorous training and clinical experience, these graduates are ready to elevate patient care across the Mississippi Gulf Coast and beyond.
