“The COVID-19 pandemic has further strained an already stressed health care system and nurses and other health care professionals continue to be in high demand across the country, and in West Virginia,” added Ferris. “We hope to retain our nurses and attract new employees to our great state with a new initiative for nurses at West Virginia state-operated facilities.”
Nursing incentives are available for eligible applicants at state-operated facilities. Learn more about this program by visiting our website or emailing DHHRJobs@wv.gov.
