By enrolling, you will be joining a proud tradition. The LPN Career Center is celebrating over 40 years of service to the Susquehanna Valley. Since 1967, our program's experienced nursing instructors have guided many men and women to careers in health care as Licensed Practical Nurses.  Many graduates have continued their education and become Registered nurses. Our graduates are making a difference in the health care delivery system and the lives of those they serve. 

Located in Lewisburg, Pa., the LPN Career Center is operated by the Central Susquehanna Intermediate Unit, a regional education agency that conducts many programs and services for schools and students in our region. All classes are held at the LPN Career Center, and clinical experiences are offered in a variety of skilled and acute care settings across the region. Contact us at:
