The West Virginia University School of Nursing has won a $600,000 grant, the largest in its history, to help address the state's shortage of nurses.

The gift announced Thursday creates the Helene Fuld Health Trust Scholarship Fund for Baccalaureate Nursing Students.

Dean Georgia Narsavage says too many promising students can't afford to complete a four-year program, and the new scholarship program will help them.

The school hopes to give about 20 scholarships to current students by next fall.

Narsavage says WVU's focus on gerontology and providing care for vulnerable populations in rural areas helped secure the grant.

A committee in the House of Delegates has sent a bill to the House floor that would allow private, faith-based adoption agencies to discriminate against prospective parents based on their sexual orientation. Would you support this?

Yes, I think if it is a private organization it's okay.
No, there should be no discrimination.
It should depend on a case by case basis.
