The Greater Altoona Career & Technology Center (GACTC) Practical Nursing program achieved a 94.87% pass rate of graduates which completed the national licensure exam (NCLEX-PN) during the period of October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023. Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) are in-demand in our region and can work in a variety of healthcare delivery settings.
The GACTC Practical Nursing program is approved by the State Board of Nursing. The current NCLEX-PN pass rate of the GACTC Practical Nursing program is well above the required pass rate for practical nursing programs in Pennsylvania per state law, which requires an 80% NCLEX-PN pass rate.
Graduates of the GACTC Practical Nursing program also obtain IV Therapy Certification.
The current practical nursing classes will graduate in August 2024. The GACTC Practical Nursing program is accepting applications for the full- and part-time programs, which begin in fall 2024.
The GACTC Practical Nursing program has served the region since 1970. The program is under the direction of Lisa Urban, RN, MSN. For more information about our practical nursing program, please visit www.gactc.edu or call (814) 941-8324.
