Officials from the Schuylkill Technology Center announced that the Adult Practical Nursing program’s National Council Licensure Examination pass rate for 2023-24 was 100%.

The examination is required by nursing school graduates in order to obtain licensure in Pennsylvania.

STC is accepting applications for the next class scheduled for May of 2025. The school has plans in place to launch an adult evening program in 2025. For more information, call 570-874-1412.
