ABOUT US Small class sizes ensure that students receive one-on-one assistance when needed. Tutoring is also available to ensure student success in the program. Our instructors are primarily masters-prepared licensed nurses who share career experiences and relate classroom subjects to actual clinical experiences. The Practical Nursing program offers the potential to earn credit towards completion of an RN program at area colleges.
The Chester County Intermediate Unit Practical Nursing Program receives support through the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006 (Perkins IV). This act is designed to help all students develop their academic, career, and technical skills to prepare for high-skill, high-wage, and high-demand occupations in current or emerging professions. The act places an increased focus on the academic achievement of career and technical education students, improves state and local accountability, and strengthens the connections between secondary and postsecondary education through the development and implementation of Career and Technical Programs of Study.
We are committed to providing stu-dents an education that prepares them to be the nursing leaders of tomorrow.
