WVU School of Nursing to host Nov. 18 virtual open house for BSN program

The West Virginia University School of Nursing is hosting a Fall 2025 Virtual Open House for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2025, at 6 p.m. EST.

RegisteredNursing.org has ranked the WVU School of Nursing’s BSN program as the No. 1 program in the state. Last year, the WVU School of Nursing boasted a 99% first-time pass rate average among its three BSN campus locations — Morgantown, Beckley, and Keyser.

During the Nov. 18 virtual open house, attendees can hear from a panel of guests, including School of Nursing faculty and staff and SON Student Ambassadors, all of whom will provide insight into the program and answer questions.

“The virtual open house is a great way for prospective students to learn more about the program and the benefits of a Bachelor of Science in Nursing,” said Phillip Engelkemier, Director of Recruitment. “Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions and learn from our current students as well.”

While the Virtual Open House is geared toward high school juniors and seniors, everyone is invited to attend. Specifically, attendees can learn about first-time freshman program entrance requirements, receive an in-depth overview of the nursing curriculum from BSN Director Dr. Tina Antill Keener, and experience a virtual WV STEPS Center (simulation lab) tour.

Please register online to receive Zoom information. For additional questions, please email Phillip.Engelkemier@hsc.wvu.edu.
