Practical Nursing
The Practical Nursing Program is a full time, 12-month program beginning annually in July
We are proud to announce that our Practical Nursing Program is ranked 8 out of all 57 Pennsylvania Practical Nursing Programs approved by the State Board of Nursing.
The curriculum consists of a wide variety of clinical experience, along with classroom instruction.
Successful completion of our certificate program prepares you to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) and become a Licensed Practical Nurse.
This program is an excellent stepping-stone toward a RN degree, or can provide exciting opportunities working as a LPN in a variety of patient care settings.
The first step in the admission process is to take a pre-entrance exam. Our program requires the PSB Aptitude for Practical Nursing Examination. It is comprised of five separate tests that measure abilities, skills, knowledge and attitudes important for success in the program and career choice. There is a limited number of testing dates, so register today! For more information, please visit our Admissions Procedures Phase I page.
