Become a Leader in Nursing

We are launching a new Master of Science in Nursing Leadership (MSN-NL) program, a unique degree which will prepare graduates to become nursing faculty members, enter nursing administration roles, or obtain unit-level leadership at the clinical level.

Making a Difference

In partnership with Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing, we will soon offer “Inside Outside,” a new pathway in community nursing that prepares students to improve access to care and support wellness in schools, homes, health departments and more.

About the Pathway

Hands-On Learning Opportunities

Nursing students across all our campus locations have the opportunity to practice their skills and grow their confidence in simulation settings by working with classmates, manikins or standardized patients (who serve as actors) before working with real-life patients in the field.

Community and Global Engagement

One of the main reasons I chose WVU was because you start clinicals early, in the fall of sophomore year, which a lot of other schools don’t offer. I also liked the smaller clinical groups because it made it easier to learn and ask questions.
