So far, pediatric experts like Dr. Kathryn Moffett, who is a pediatric infectious disease specialist at West Virginia University, say MIS-C is rare, but there’s still a lot of unknowns about the disease and how the coronavirus infects children in general.
West Virginia University is taking enforcement of COVID-19 protocols very seriously this fall.
Join the WVU School of Nursing for a virtual Zoom information sessions about our post-APRN certificate program in adult-gerontology acute care.
Dear WVU School of Nursing students, faculty and staff:
Continuing education credits are now available for Contact Tracing and Pandemic Response, an online, self-guided course developed in partnership between the West Virginia University School of Public Health and the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources Bureau for Public Health.
Historic and systemic obstacles, made more pressing by the COVID-19 pandemic, mean current and prospective students from underrepresented groups often need financial help to start or continue their education at West Virginia University. The WVU Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is launching a crowdfunding campaign to raise scholarship support for students from these groups.
If you need a visual cue to don a face covering, a team of West Virginia University researchers simulated COVID-19 droplets spraying between two mannequin heads in various states – masked and unmasked.
West Virginia University leaders Vice President for Strategic Initiatives Rob Alsop and Drs. Clay Marsh and Jeff Coben sent a letter July 7 to the campus community outlining safety procedures for students’ return to campus scheduled for Aug. 19.
In order to perform lab work, post-graduate students pursuing Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) certification need immediate access to individual suture kits at home. These kits cost $155 each, creating yet another financial burden for students who have faced many economic challenges – and hurdles to higher education – caused by the pandemic. The WVU School of Nursing is raising funds to help those students get the kits they need.
After West Virginia experienced its highest daily total of new COVID-19 cases over the weekend, Gov. Justice announced Monday that he has issued an executive order that will establish a statewide indoor face covering requirement.
