The WVU Student Nurses' Association hosted a job fair for Health Sciences students Monday, Nov. 14 from in the HSC Pylons.
The event welcomed 10 hospital systems, including Highmark Health of Pittsburgh, Eisenhower Health of California, TMC HealthCare of Arizona, as well as military recruiters, SON graduate recruiters, WVU ROTC recruiter, and hospitals from all around West Virginia.
"I wanted to give all students, not just the nursing students, as many different opportunities as possible," said event organizer Jenna Wermers, SNA President. "I decided to host a job fair because I noticed that I personally was unaware of all the opportunities available to me."
Last year, Wermers attended the National Student Nurses' Association in Utah and she found herself in awe of how many hospital systems and opportunities are available to her as a future nurse.
"I decided then and there that I would get the contact information of every recruiter I could with the hopes of inviting them to a job fair."
