Trinity Valley Community College / Nursing
Program (ADN, LVN to ADN, Paramedic to ADN):"The Associate Degree Nursing program began
in 1982, made possible by the dedication
of many citizens in an all out effort to
improve the shortage of nurses in rural areas.
The first class started with 36 students
and the program expanded over the years,
with the largest graduating class of 108
in 1993. To better utilize clinical facilities
and meet the increasing community needs,
the school began a weekend alternative option
in the fall of 1989. The weekend program
is offered every other year, beginning in
odd numbered years. The ADN program is a
70 credit hour curriculum leading to an Associate
Degree in Applied Science. Graduates will
be recommended to the Board of Nurse Examiners
for the State of Texas to be approved to
take the National Council Licensure Examination
(NCLEX-RN) to qualify as a registered nurse.
Upon entry into practice, the Associate Degree
Nursing graduate should be able to provide
safe, competent nursing care for a group
of patients with commonly occurring health
problems in various health care settings."
Tyler Junior College / The School of Nursing
(ADN, LVN):"Students who graduate from the ADN program
and pass the national licensing examination

nurses (R.N.s) work to promote health, prevent
disease, and help patients cope with illness.
They are advocates and health educators for
patients, families, and communities. When
providing direct patient care, they observe,
assess, and record symptoms, reactions, and
progress; assist physicians during treatments
and examinations; administer medications;
and assist in convalescence and rehabilitation."

The University of Texas at Austin / School

training enables graduates to function in
a wide variety of settings. Clinical instruction
at UT meets or exceeds the Texas State Board
of Nurse Examiners' standards for student-teacher
ratios. Generally, only 10 students are assigned

to practice as generalists. This level of
education is based on core knowledge and
clinical competency, applied through a unique
blend of critical thinking and human caring
in multiple settings. Health promotion, risk
reduction, and disease management are the
focus of the care provided. Graduate education
is built upon the baccalaureate educational
core elements, and enhances strong critical
thinking and decision-making skills. The
nurse with a master's degree is prepared
as a visionary leader and manager to assume
advanced roles in a variety of settings.
Graduates are prepared to promote evolving
practice patterns based on global perspectives,
which requires a deep understanding of moral
and ethical responsibility, human diversity,
and social issues. Masters prepared nurses
initiate and use research findings to enhance
outcomes in their advanced practice settings.
A sophisticated knowledge base of health
care policy, organization, and financing
is blended with the realities of the changing
practice environment."
