Overview

The Practical Nursing Program of Jefferson County-Dubois A.V.T.S. began admitting students in 1968.

The educational program is designed to prepare qualified applicants to perform selective nursing acts in the care of the ill, injured, or infirmed under the direction of a licensed professional nurse, physician, or dentist.

The program is approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing, and the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission.
