Support creates a foundation for success in nursing school
 Nursing classes at MGCCC consist 40 to
50 students. They are designed to
provide an intimate and adaptable
learning experience.
 Students also go through their program
as cohorts, learning together from their
first class all the way until graduation.
 Going through the nursing program in a
small cohort, is like finding your second
family.
 By the time students graduate they are
proud of their accomplishments, but it’s
also “bittersweet” to leave their friends.
 This will be one of the first things you’ll
notice about nursing classes. There is a
closeness among the students but also
between them, and the faculty as well.
Life of a MGCCC Nursing Student…
The faculty have your back until the end…
There is an old expression: “Those who cannot do, teach.” That
really couldn’t be further from the truth when it comes to the
nursing faculty at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College.
MGCCC Nursing faculty are
required to have experience in
the field, and have a passion
for nursing that runs deep.
They go into teaching to pass
on that passion to others.
You’ll definitely have made
some life-time friends along
this journey through school,
whether it be a professor or a
fellow classmate.

Word from our Award Winning Faculty
Today is your day …
The message about the growing need for nurses is ringing loud and clear throughout the healthcare
industry. Industry demand for registered nurses alone is expected to grow by 16 percent through
2024, according to Bureau Of Labor Statistics. ( Statistics, 2016)
Schools like MGCCC are hard at work training new nurses to fill this demand. The decision to
go to school is not an easy one. It’s a huge investment that will affect you for years to come.
When it comes to nursing, it’s a decision that will also have great impact on the lives of others.
It’s not a decision to be taken lightly.

 Florence Nightingale wore a white uniform
 White was considered a symbol of purity.
Florence Nightingale
Born Leader
Confident
Integrity
Compassionate
Intelligent
Committed to excellence
“She said the object and color in the
materials around us actually have a
physical effect on us, on how we feel.”
(Brainy Quote, 2016)
 MGCCC Nursing Uniform Policy
 MGCCC Nursing Faculty &
Administrators also hold students to a
Higher Standard
 Although, health care workers may not
wear white uniforms, the profession
continues to represent purity,
compassion, and integrity.
 “While uniforms alone do not make the
professional, they go a long way in
helping us to stand out, better allowing
us to do what we do best: heal, teach,
support, comfort, nurture, and save
lives.” (Sue Tobin, 2016)
 Professional attire is a requirement for
all MGCCC nursing students during
clinical and pre-clinical experiences.
 Students Must wear the official uniform
for clinical experiences, clinical lab days,
and when visiting health care facilities
to get patient information.
 Failure to comply will result in an
unsatisfactory clinical grade and the
student will be sent home.
