About this school
B M Spurr School of Practical Nursing is a private non-profit trade campus in Glen Dale, West Virginia. It is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing and participates in federal Title IV financial aid, meaning eligible students can use FAFSA-based aid to help pay for tuition. The school awards a single program family, LPN / LVN programs, with 10 completers recorded and a total undergraduate enrollment of 17, reflecting its small, focused campus setting in a fringe town locale.
Federal Scorecard data shows a completion rate of 100.0%, above the West Virginia state average of 68.5%. Median debt of graduates is not reported for this campus in federal data, and median earnings 10 years after entry are also not reported for this campus in federal data. Annual cost of attendance is listed at $20,645, and 38.7% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating a meaningful share of low-income enrollment.
This campus suits students focused specifically on practical nursing (LPN) training rather than a broad range of trades, including adult career-changers seeking a single-purpose nursing credential, though specific program length is not detailed here. Because the school offers only one program family, it may fit those already decided on the LPN path. Prospective students should verify current accreditation status directly with ACEN and review outcomes on the College Scorecard before enrolling, since some figures, like debt and earnings, are not reported for this campus in federal data.
