Schuylkill Technology Center announced that students in its Adult Practical Nursing Program had a 95% pass rate in the 2024-2025 National Council Licensure Examination.

Of the 24 graduates in the program, 23 of them are working in the nursing field.

Carmel Nursing and Rehabilitation, Shenandoah Manor, Schuylkill Intermediate Unit #29, Silver Pines Rehabilitation and St. Luke’s Miners Hospital.
