Mississippi Overview
Working as an NP in Mississippi
Mississippi currently has 2 active nurse practitioner postings from 1 employer, with hiring concentrated in Jackson and Ridgeland. By posting volume, the most active categories right now are Per Diem and Full-Time. On the regulatory side, AANP places Mississippi in its reduced practice category. AANP uses this category where state law reduces the ability of NPs to engage in at least one element of NP practice, for example through a regulated collaborative agreement with another health provider or a limit on the setting of one or more elements of NP practice. States in the same category still set different requirements, so check the Mississippi rules themselves before applying. No median is published for Mississippi postings yet, so compare compensation posting by posting. Mississippi's Nurse Licensure Compact membership covers the RN license beneath the APRN credential. The APRN license itself is still issued by Mississippi.
