Penn College has scheduled a full-time program in Wellsboro and Coudersport. The program begins September 11, 2023, and students will graduate approximately one year from the start of the program. A second program will begin in January 2024 in Wellsboro only.

Qualified nursing instructors provide classroom instruction in theory and nursing skills. Affiliation with UPMC allows for clinical experiences at UPMC Wellsboro and UPMC Cole. Other local healthcare affiliates are also utilized. Graduates earn a certificate in Practical Nursing and are eligible to sit for the NCLEX-PN exam for licensure (LPN). Graduates find jobs in hospitals, long-term care facilities, home health agencies, private homes, physician offices, and other health-related offices.
