Board ratifies administrative denial of LPN exam application under state statute and admin code

The Mississippi Board of Nursing voted unanimously on April 11, 2025, to ratify the Executive Committee's administrative denial of an LPN application for exam in Case No. 2025-0309. The motion was made by Jeremy Cummins and seconded by Carly Walker; the minutes record that the ratification was "based upon Miss. Code Ann. Section 73-15-29(1)(1)(k) and 30 Miss. Admin. Code. Pt. 2820, R.1.2(A)." The minutes do not state the factual basis or the specific factual findings that led to the denial. The action recorded is a formal ratification of the Executive Committee's recommendation; the board did not record additional deliberation or public comment in the minutes. Because the minutes cite statutory and administrative-code authority, further details about the legal grounds and the applicant's circumstances would appear in the administrative record for Case No. 2025-0309 rather than in these minutes.
