Schuylkill Technology Center Practical Nursing Students Graduate

The Schuylkill Technology Practical Nursing Program hosted a Graduation Ceremony on Thursday, September 10, 2020 in which 21 students were awarded diplomas. 

The students completed the 18th month Practical Nursing program for adult students offered at the North Campus of Schuylkill Technology Center located in Frackville. “This is an especially resilient group of graduates,” said Director Shannon Brennan during her introductory remarks during Thursday’s ceremony as she referenced the challenges this group of students overcame with COVID19 Protocols for theory and clinical courses.

The next step will be for graduates to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) in Practical Nursing in order to qualify for employment. Schuylkill Technology Center currently has a 100% NCLEX Pass Rate as of the 8/1/20 quarterly reporting.
