Mississippi Organization for Associate Degree Nursing

M-OADN is a state organization primarily interested in working to retain the Registered Nurse title and scope of practice for the associate degree nurse. The organization is also interested in working for nurses to have an easy transition from ADN to BSN if so chosen. In addition, M-OADN works to assure quality health care for consumers by being involved with all issues concerning nursing. We represent nursing educators, nurses and students in Mississippi.
