"I feel that the experience we get in clinicals with all the hands-on experience is very valuable. I think we are getting an idea of what nursing is all about. I have many friends at schools in [neighboring states] who have no experience with patients and no idea what they are getting into."

"I like that the hospital is newer and that the faculty are willing to help & meet with us whenever possible."

"I came from a small town school, and the WVU School of Nursing is just like it - in a good way. I feel like a name here, not a number! "

"I feel confident in my field because of m excellent hands-on experience at Ruby [Memorial Hospital]. My instructors have all been experts in their field and I always feel comfortable asking them questions and asking for help. With corresponding theory classes and on-site clinicals, I have been able to 'connect the dots' and understand each aspect of nursing. "
