Penn State Lehigh Valley's Department of Continuing Education will hold TEAS testing for those interested in applying to its practical nursing program. The TEAS test is a multiple choice exam that measures entry level skills and abilities of nursing program applicants. Upcoming testing will be held at 9 a.m. on Aug. 13, and at 9 a.m. on Aug. 20, at the Penn State Health Education Center at Overlook Park, 445 Hanover Avenue, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
An information session for the practical nursing program and other health care programs will be held at 3 p.m. on Aug. 6. The campus has programs that can prepare individuals for a high-demand career as a pharmacy technician, clinical medical assistant or practical nurse, and are open to anyone with a high school diploma or equivalent. The information session will also be held at Overlook Park.
The Penn State practical nursing program aims to provide a high quality, noncredit certificate program, delivered through a part-time, 18-month evening and weekend curriculum that prepares individuals with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes essential for practical nursing practice. Classes begin in March 2016 for the next 18-month cycle.
