Cisco College Introduces Dual Credit LVN Courses

The Nursing Program at Cisco College is so much on the “cutting edge” of nursing training that the program’s Dean and Director were recently invited to speak to the Texas Board of Nursing about the program’s innovations.

Dr. Pearl Merritt, Dean of the college’s School of Nursing for 13 years, and Dr. Spencer Woody, Director of Nursing for the past two years, journeyed to Austin to describe recent developments at Cisco College before the 13-member board, appointed by the Texas governor, that is responsible for nursing school accreditation in Texas.

Chief among the innovations the Cisco College officials presented is the introduction of nursing courses into the Dual Credit programs in the high schools.
