Work hard and put your best effort into school, but don’t forget to have fun!
Immediately upon my guided tour of the university, I felt an overwhelming sense of community. I didn’t know it then, but Mountaineer pride was planted within me and will remain there forever. If I could go back, I would do it all again.
I chose WVU School of Nursing because I believe it is the best program in the state. The education and clinical time that you receive from this program is wonderful. For me, the Beckley Campus was close to home, and it is also one of the only schools in the area that you can receive a BSN from. I believe that the program’s high standards and dedication to providing exceptional education help to set it apart from others.
Public health to me is primary prevention as its the science and practice of improving the health of all communities. This field focuses on populations rather than at an individual level.
This degree has challenged me in many different ways. It's taught me to look at health from a bigger perspective than just one person.
