Indiana County Technology Center School of Practical Nursing offers 2 sites and format options:

• The first option is a full-time, 52-week program that includes four (4) weeks of scheduled recess and several scheduled holidays. One class is admitted annually each August.
  
  
• The Steel Center Satellite offers a part-time 16 month option.  The first part-time class will begin April 2010.
  
  
• Both sites offer the student the ability to enroll in the WCCC College Classes prior to enrolling in the nursing curriculum.  This option allows the student to focus on the nursing component of their studies exclusively.
  
  
• Through an arrangement with Westmoreland County Community College, students earn twelve (12) transferable college credits.  Qualified graduates are provided the opportunity to gain advanced placement at many area registered nursing schools.

The faculty is highly qualified educators who have several years of teaching experience with nursing students and excellent academic credentials.  We have selected some of the finest clinical experiences that the area has to offer nursing students.  These include several acute care centers and senior living facilities.  Completion of the nursing program enables graduates to take the licensing examination to become a licensed practical nurse.

There is a high demand for practical nurses with many excellent job opportunities.  Many organizations also offer tuition forgiveness or scholarships.

Applications are currently being accepted for subsequent nursing classes.  Applications are accepted throughout the year.  Enclosed is an application form and two (2) reference forms.  Individuals who have known you in an academic or employment relationship should complete the reference forms.  You must submit the application form with the $30.00 fee and have your high school transcript or GED forwarded to the school.  An official college transcript is also required for any previous college work. You must also schedule an appointment with me for a personal interview.  There are no pre-requisite courses for this program.
