Some careers require an astute mind. Others demand emotional commitment. But very few require the delicate balance of both that it takes to excel as a nurse.

On one hand, you're expected to keep abreast of some of the world's most advanced technology and work with some of the most highly trained professionals in the country. At the same time, you have the ability to touch the lives of others in a profound and meaningful way, during their time of greatest need.

At University of Mississippi Medical Center and University of Mississippi Health Care, we understand the passion that drives people to become nurses. As an affiliate of one of the region's most respected universities, we share your respect for knowledge. Likewise, as one of the South's most respected health care institutions, the desire to care and heal is at the core of everything we do.

You have an urge within you not just to learn and grow, but also to make a difference in the lives of others. We call it a passion for nursing. It's a feeling you'll find mirrored by all those around you at University of Mississippi Health Care.
