Board Threatens To Pull Mountain State School Of Nursing Accreditation
WEST VIRGINIA....
The West Virginia Board of Examiners for Registered Professional Nurses says the Mountain State University's School of Nursing has failed to provide sufficient learning opportunities for students and not enough students were passing the licensure examination, among other problems. The school, which has been under review for failure to meet standards since 2004, has two months to comply with the board's demands or face the possibility of losing the board's accreditation. Among other penalties, the school cannot admit new students for at least 15 months. Mountain State's vice president of legal affairs Jon Reed says the school will do what it takes to meet the requirements.
