Beckley Campus on WVU Tech's campus recently hosted the Southern
West Virginia Junior Nursing Academy.
Held Aug. 8 and 9, the event welcomed rising eighth, ninth and tenth graders. Students
visited Raleigh General Hospital and Appalachian Regional Hospital, and learned
CPR skills, visited with AirEvac professionals and more.
"This event is a great way for high school students to explore nursing as a career
path," said

able to participate in hands-on activities and ask questions to medical professionals
in the field."
