Discover Our Direct Admission Program
The WVJC Online Nursing program is a direct admission program. This means, once accepted, you’re guaranteed a seat in the nursing training program and will not need to complete years of pre-nursing general classes.
It is well known that the healthcare industry is experiencing a critical shortage of qualified and caring nurses who can competently provide quality healthcare, meeting the needs of patients. This chronic deficiency of skilled nurses is especially a reality in rural areas of a state like West Virginia.
WVJC Online’s direct admission Nursing program precludes students from enduring the wait and stress of taking unnecessary and unrelated classes while waiting to be accepted into the Nursing program.
The accelerated, hybrid Nursing online classes and clinical practice, combined with the direct admission acceptance policy, allows WVJC Online nursing students to earn their Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) while preparing for the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). *
*Passing the NCLEX – RN exam is required to become a Registered Nurse.
