The city
Living in Morgantown, WV

More about WVUH West Virginia University Hospitals
The hospital sits inside the West Virginia University Health System—18 hospitals and the state’s largest private employer—so the badge puts you in a wide network without leaving town. Shifts are posted across days, evenings, and nights, including full-time night CVICU and night TCTU work. A clinical ladder (RN Level I, II, III) maps advancement to experience and certifications. Entry-level postings take graduate nurses and nurses with under a year of experience; you need BLS within 30 days, and graduate nurses must hold licensure within 60 days. Multi-state eNLC licenses are accepted. Morgantown’s cost of living runs about 7% below the national level, and a typical commute is around 15 minutes. Third-party pay estimates for local RN roles span roughly the low $40ks into the $70ks or low $80ks depending on unit—figures the hospital itself has not posted—so the offer conversation still matters.
