The Associate Degree Nursing program is a two-year program whose graduates meet the academic requirement to apply to take the NCLEX-RN licensing examination upon graduation. Other requirements for licensure are specified by the West Virginia Board of Examiners for Registered Professional Nurses. A combination of general education, related cognates and courses from the professional major provide students with the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to practice in a variety of direct client care settings as well as providing the educational foundation for further study in nursing.
The need for nurses will continue to grow over the next decade and beyond. Our Division of Allied Health upholds the highest standards in education and technology to provide you with classroom, laboratory, clinical and hands-on experience. Our partnerships with local hospitals and healthcare providers mean you will have opportunities for clinical experiences, internships and networking opportunities that can assist you with job placement.
