Through a partnership with Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing, the WVU School of Nursing will soon offer students a new pathway called "Inside Outside" for focusing on community nursing, allowing them to make a difference outside the hospital setting by improving access to care and promoting wellness in schools, homes, health departments and elsewhere.
The WVU School of Nursing offers accredited undergraduate and graduate level programs on five campuses and online.
The focus of West Virginia University School of Nursing's research is reducing health disparities among rural Appalachians. It is through this ongoing work with adults, families, and communities that WVU's nurse researchers are positively impacting the health of West Virginians.

[To our scholarship donors,] thank you so much for everything you do — not only for myself but for the other students' lives you have impacted. I’m so grateful for this opportunity and I hope that maybe I can do the same in the future for another student. Truly, it’s an inspiration and a blessing.
