Panola College Nursing Students
Present at East Texas Summit
Four Panola College RN students presented a poster
presentation on "Bridging the Gap Between Clinical
Education and New Graduate Practice" at the East Texas
Summit for the 'Texas Team Future of Nursing'. The
summit was held at Trinity Mother Frances in Tyler,
TX on April 24, 2015 with over 170 participants from
area hospitals, colleges and universities. The students,
Bradley Baker, Melissa Jeane, Amanda Woodfin, and Ra-
chel Gardner will be graduating with Associate Degrees
in Nursing on May 15th. They were the only student
group to present at the conference and were stationed
at the poster presentation among doctorally prepared
nurses with research backgrounds. "We were so proud
of the professionalism displayed by our students," said
Karen McClellan, one of their instructors. "This type of
experience, positions our students to be leaders in the
profession".
The goal of the conference was to bring educators and
business partners together to discuss common goals to
advance nursing in Texas. The Texas Team is our state’s
nursing action coalition, cosponsored by TNA and Blue
Cross Blue Shield of Texas.
The Texas Team believes all Texans deserve better
care, better health, and lower healthcare costs. Nurses - as
the largest group of health care providers in the state - are
essential to achieving these three goals in Texas. Texas
Team members are enthusiastically working to transform
nursing and health care in Texas.
