About the West Virginia NCLEX exam
West Virginia Board of Nursing. Like every state, West Virginia adopts the federal standards as a baseline and adds state-specific requirements, fees, and procedures.
- NCLEX + state licensing fee: approximately $200 NCLEX fee + $100 WV fee.
- State nursing board: West Virginia Board of Examiners for Registered Professional Nurses.
- West Virginia is an NLC member; West Virginia's rural healthcare system depends heavily on nurses willing to practise in underserved Appalachian communities.
