Nursing; authorize military medics to take exam to be licensed as an LPN.

HB 1262 allows U.S. Army Combat Medic Specialists, U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsmen, and U.S. Air Force Aerospace Medical Service Specialists to take Mississippi's Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) exam after completing their military training and two years of direct patient care experience. The bill amends Mississippi's nursing licensing law to create a specific pathway for these military medics, recognizing their existing training without requiring additional nursing education. It does not change other standard LPN requirements, such as a high school diploma or passing the exam. This bill directly affects eligible military medics seeking to work as LPNs in Mississippi.
