ADN Program Details

We're on a mission to prepare competent, novice professional nurses that are self-directed, critically thinking learners. Part of this mission is to contribute to the profession by promoting wholistic health, healing and excellence in nursing.

The purpose of the Associate Degree Nursing Program at Panola College is to provide high quality education to individuals in the community seeking a career as a registered nurse and to promote the transition of the Licensed Vocational Nurse into the role of the professional nurse. Upon completion of the course of study, the student is prepared to take the National Council Licensure examination (NCLEX-RN) for licensure as a registered nurse.
