IMPORTANT:
- No Guarantee of Admission – Admission to the nursing program is highly competitive. Submission and completion of the minimum admission requirements does NOT guarantee admittance to the program.
- Licensure Eligibility — Requirements to become a registered nurse are evolving as the practice of nursing evolves. Generally, the requirements are becoming more stringent. Before starting classes, you should go to your state nursing board website (WVBON website address is: http://wvrnboard.wv.gov) to review and confirm that you can meet the eligibility requirements to become a registered nurse. Be advised that the requirements may change between the time that you can begin school and the time you graduate and apply to become a registered nurse. Any condition that could impair your ability to carry out nursing functions may disqualify you from eligibility to become a registered nurse. This could include mental, emotional, physical, or other conditions. You should also be aware that, any abuse of legal drugs or use of illegal drugs will be a basis for disqualification. You may be tested for inappropriate drug use while in school, as a condition to participate in clinical rotations at some sites, and prior to receiving your nursing license. Once licensed, you may be required to be tested for inappropriate drug use as a condition of employment. (The College makes no representations, suggestions or warranties that any student is or will be eligible for licensure. This is the sole responsibility and authority of the WVBON.)
