Nursing Advantage Program

West Virginia Wesleyan College is thrilled to announce a second year for  The Nursing Advantage Program for freshman students enrolling in pre-nursing in Fall of 2023! For the second year in a row, West Virginia Wesleyan College was awarded $1,000,000 through West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice’s Nursing Workforce Expansion Program, which is designed to address the state’s nursing shortage through a multifaceted approach to attract, train, and retain nurses in the Mountain State. You can read more about the  original grant by clicking here.

Students enrolling in The Nursing Advantage Program will have access to new, state-of-the-art equipment and training and to Wesleyan’s unparalleled instruction and student support. In addition, each student in the nursing program will receive a Dell laptop, textbook reimbursement, uniform and supplies.
