The Nursing Program at Southern West Virginia Community
and Technical College is designed to prepare the associate degree
program graduate for practice as a registered nurse once licensure
requirements are satisfied. The registered nurse is prepared to care for
people of any age who have acute or chronic health care problems in a
variety of settings. The nurse practices within a combination of three
roles: provider of care, manager of care, and member within the
discipline of nursing. The faculty in the Department of Nursing believe
that nursing is a unique profession concerned with assessing, promoting,
maintaining, and restoring the health of individuals and families. The
discipline of nursing incorporates the concepts of
Person-Health-Environment.
All courses must be completed
with a “C” or better by the semester indicated in order to
progress to the next semester. Competency exams may also be
required in course/levels in order to progress in the
curriculum. The Nursing Program must be completed within four
years of admission. Failure to successfully complete the program
within four years will result in dismissal. Any request for
re-admission would be subject to new student admission
requirements for that academic year and would require all
nursing courses be repeated regardless of the previous grade.
*LPN’s may challenge course - cost is responsibility of the
student.
