Pass rates and sticker price are for the first license. Working RNs in West Virginia often stack an online RN-to-BSN, then an NP specialty. Online RN-to-BSN options serving West Virginia include Walden University at $27,710 listed total tuition in our directory. West Virginia is a reduced-practice state: nurse practitioners must maintain a career-long collaborative agreement with another health provider for at least one element of practice (often prescriptive authority), which limits fully independent practice.
