Health Sciences Commencement

“WVU was the most cost-effective option since the University and the School of Nursing offer many scholarships. We chose the Morgantown Campus because it wasn’t my hometown, but it wasn’t too far away. All the factors like location, price and program lined up perfectly. It was so easy to find information about the WVU Nursing program. When we were researching colleges, we found we could see the whole course catalog and what you take every semester. It was super organized and easy to figure out.”

Overall, through this program, I have been able to be more than just a hygiene student. I am a leader, a mentor, a friend, a volunteer and a person my childhood self would be proud of.

I wanted to become a nurse because caring for others has always been important to me. My mom has been a nurse for 30-plus years and she has always been my role model, so I feel like that was another reason I wanted to become a nurse.

I am well prepared for my future endeavors; my professors took the time to help shape my future in nursing. From the coursework and clinicals I have obtained with classmates, I feel very well equipped to be a part of a team while managing my patients' condition.

Public health is not only a way for me to share my dedication to my country but also to its people.
