(COA Photo) 4PO/9 CfXaduatQi £.atn JiJO// JTtcunSus Four Chowan County graduates from the Prac tical Nursing Education program at College of The Albemarle in August were among 15 former students who helped gain in stitutional recognition for the community college when the entire group passed its state licensing examination. Darnell Hedgepeth, Phyllis Johnson, and Jean Jones, all of Arrowhead Beach, and Betty Sutton of Edenton, learned last week that they have received passing scores on the State Board Test Pool Exam for Practical Nurses which they took on October 20 in Raleigh. Their efforts, along with 11 other classmates, resulted in a 100 per cent passing rate for the COA license applicants.

I am just delighted!” In order to qualify for licensing as a practical nurse, applicants must score a minimum of 350 out of a possible 700 points. The lowest number of points received by examinees from COA was 405, with a high score of 662 which was registered by one former student. Ten students, representing 66 per cent of the group, each scored more than 500 points. Mrs. Briscoe said the one year diploma program is not an easy one. She estimates that approximately 25 per cent of those who are ac cepted fail to complete the full course of study. The program involves the study of 14 health-related and science courses, with clinical practice at Albemarle Hospital in Elizabeth City which ranges from 18 to 21 hours per week each quarter. Mrs. Briscoe said although the training is demanding, there are rewards for those who see it through, particularly in the job market. Graduates who pass the state licensing examination can practice in any state in the country, with the exception of California and New York. Twelve of the recent graduates are currently working in the immediate area, she said. They are employed by Albemarle and Chowan hospitals, in nurs ing homes, and with local doctors.
