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.

time in a number of years
that an entire class has
passed the board
examination. “Not only did
they all pass,” she said,
“they also made excellent
scores. 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.

winner in her own right.
The members of the
Fannie Parker Woman’s
Club would like to say
thanks to the girls and their
parents for the wonderful
cooperation they gave. The
program sponsors for the
cotillion were Mrs. Ruby
