Meet Haley T.

Haley Tibbs, who received her Bachelor of Science in Health Science, fell in love nursing during an internship at a clinic in her hometown of Parsons, West Virginia. She said observing healthcare professionals at the clinic made her want to pursue the career path for herself.

“I chose the School of Nursing at WVU because it is the best nursing program in the state with nearly perfect scores on the NCLEX and I have heard great reviews of the faculty and facilities,” Tibbs said.

After learning about the WVU Medicine Aspiring Nurse Program from a faculty member, she knew she wanted to apply. She said the assistance from the program has provided flexibility with her schedule and freedom from financial stress. She plans to graduate in 2025 and continue working in a West Virginia hospital to give back to the community.

“Eventually, I plan to earn my Master of Science in Nursing and become a Family Nurse Practitioner,” Tibbs said. “I am so excited to get as much as possible out of this new journey.”
