Philadelphia residents who are thinking about pursuing nursing as a career – whether as a certified nursing assistant (CNA), a licensed practical nurse (LPN) or a registered nurse (RN) – must graduate from an accredited nursing school approved by the State of Pennsylvania.

Nursing programs in the United States are regulated by individual states rather than by the federal government. All Philadelphia nurse training programs are approved and monitored either by the state's Department of Education or the Pennsylvania Board of Nursing.

This article explains how students can find state-approved Philadelphia nursing schools and explains Pennsylvania's licensing and certification requirements.
