Family nurse practitioner programs in Mississippi are designed to prepare nurses with the advanced knowledge and skills needed to deliver primary health care services to patients of any age. The classroom curriculum includes coursework in biophysiological science, pharamacotherapeutics, primary care concepts, as well as the advanced assessment and diagnostic skills necessary for clinical practice. A minimum of 630 hours of supervised clinical practice is typical of most programs.

In order to best serve advanced practice nursing students, many courses are offered in an online format, giving them the flexibility of attaining the information at the most convenient time, rather than conforming to a rigid and fixed class schedule. Online courses may require periodic face-to-face meetings on campus a few times during the semester. Some programs require students begin their course of study at certain times (for example, fall semester) due to course sequencing. Others do not have this restriction.
Requirements for admission to a family nurse practitioner graduate program in Mississippi may include a baccalaureate degree in nursing from an accredited institution; a minimum GPA; clinical experience as a registered nurse; a current license to practice as a registered nurse; letters of reference; official transcripts from all colleges attended; and a personal interview with a graduate admissions committee.
