LEWISBURG (WVDN) – New River Community and Technical College recognized the college’s first graduating class of LPN to RN students during a pinning ceremony Friday, May 13, in the Kyle and Ann Fort Arts and Sciences Building at the Greenbrier Valley Campus in Lewisburg.
“Nothing about completing a nursing program is easy, and this group of students was presented with an additional challenge in that they began the LPN to RN program during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said New River CTC President Dr. Bonny Copenhaver. “We are proud of their accomplishment, their commitment to their field and the health of our communities.”
LPN to RN Bridge Associate of Applied Science graduates include Kaeley Asbury, of Lewisburg; Amy Cook, of White Oak; John Hamon, of Summersville; Jordan Holleman, of Bluefield; Heather Peters, of Beckley; Tiffany Sampson, of Lewisburg; and Angie Varney, of Crab Orchard.
