The WVU School of Nursing BSN Program Class of 2024 located on the Potomac State College campus, in Keyser, W.Va., recently participated in their White Coat and Pledge Ceremony. The purpose of the ceremony is to celebrate students’ entry into the study of nursing and highlight their commitment to professionalism, humanism, and compassion in their clinical studies. Additionally, students were given a humanism pin to remind them of the commitment they are making.
