PANOLA ADN PROGRAM CONTINUES TO PRODUCE EXCELLENCE 

For the third semester in a row, the students of the Associate Degree Nursing Department at Panola College earned a 100% first time pass rate on the state board licensure examination to become registered nurses.  

The ADN Department has doubled its enrollment over the past two years in order to help meet the nursing shortage in East Texas and now has the capacity to graduate up to 50 nurses each year. This was the largest graduating class in three semesters with 21 students taking the state RN examination.  

“We have enhanced our testing program to better prepare students for the comprehensive state exam,” said Dr. Cordell, the program’s director.  “I’m so pleased with the continued success of our program.  Our instructors and students have worked very hard to achieve this excellence”. 

When asked to comment on the success of Panola’s ADN students, Dr. Lillian Cook, Dean of Instruction replied,” We have an excellent staff in our ADN program – in fact, it is one of the best anywhere. As a result, our graduates are sought after in the workplace."
