Five Texarkana College associate degree nursing students were inducted this week as charter members into the Theta Sigma Chapter of Alpha Delta Nu, the national nursing honor society for associate degree nurses. The TC chapter was chartered in January 2023 by the Organization for Associate Degree Nursing (OADN), and TC’s first induction ceremony was held on Thursday, November 9, 2023. Inductees were honored with a pinning ceremony and a presentation of an honors cord recognizing the student’s academic excellence in their educational pursuit of nursing.
TC President Dr. Jason Smith congratulated the students for their success and work toward becoming charter members of TC’s nursing honors society.
“I want to congratulate you on completing the requirements to become members of this prestigious program and for representing the essence of what it means to be a nurse through your academic achievements,” said Dr. Smith. “TC’s Associate Degree Nursing program is recognized throughout the state as a leader in academic rigor and preparation for the credentialing exam.

Now, as a member of Alpha Delta Nu, your hard work and dedication to the nursing profession is being recognized and rewarded. I am so proud of each of you and grateful for your leadership on our campus in becoming charter members of TC’s associate degree nursing honors society.”
