Introducing Nursing to Area Youth
Exploring pathways in healthcare is especially important for our younger generations. Seeing their peers working in simulation settings could spark an interest for them that could lead to their future career.
Thank you to our Morgantown students and faculty who recently represented us during the Scouts' Merit Badge event, as well as our Bridgeport Campus team who represented us at a middle school career day.
Also, I want to share my gratitude to everyone who was able to contribute during WVU Day of Giving last week. Final totals are still being calculated, but the WVU School of Nursing is currently the second highest on the amount raised leaderboard. Well done!
Let's Go,
Dean Hulsey
