Schuylkill Technology Center says its latest practical-nursing graduates cleared an important licensing benchmark at a 92.59% first-attempt rate.

The figure represents the program’s reported first-time pass rate on the NCLEX-PN, the national exam used in the licensing process for practical nurses.

STC runs its adult practical-nursing training from the North Campus. Students can choose an 18-month daytime schedule or a 24-month evening schedule, and clinical training takes place with health-care organizations around the region.

The school has been preparing practical nurses for the local workforce for decades and says applications are being accepted for another class planned for February 2027.

Why the number matters

A licensing-exam pass rate is one useful measure of whether graduates are prepared to move from training into licensed practical-nursing work. It is not the only measure of program quality, but it is an important outcome for students who have completed the program.
