Nursing programs at All-State Career School
The nursing offerings tracked in federal data here are the practical nursing (LPN/LVN) certificate or diploma. Recent annual completions came to about 34 practical nursing completers. A practical nursing credential is the shortest route to licensed work; our LPN vs. RN guide covers how it differs from the registered nurse path. That is a relatively small annual graduating class, so ask how many seats open each year.
Cost and student outcomes
The average net price (what students receiving federal aid pay after grants and scholarships) is about $18,900 a year. About 73% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants. Federal debt and earnings figures for nursing graduates at this school are limited or suppressed for privacy, so ask the nursing department for current outcomes. Schoolwide, about 59% of first-time, full-time students finish within 150% of normal time and 62% return for a second year.
Applying and licensure
The federal data does not report an overall admission rate for this school, so ask the admissions office how applicants are evaluated. Expect the nursing program to have its own application, prerequisite courses, and limited seats. Our guide to getting into nursing school explains what programs typically look for. After graduation, the path to a license goes through the state board of nursing in Pennsylvania and the NCLEX exam. Ask the program about its accreditation (ACEN or CCNE) and state approval, and see how it stacks up against other nursing schools in Pennsylvania.
