Nursing students take oath acknowledging their role as caregivers
DALLAS, PA. -- Mikhayla Michigan, of Mullica Hill, is pictured here with 51 other Department of Nursing students at Misericordia University at its inaugural White Coat Ceremony for Nursing. Fifty two sophomore students were cloaked who began the professional portion of the nursing program in the spring semester.
At the Misericordia University White Coat Ceremony, family and friends, as well as faculty and administration watched as sophomore nursing students took an oath that acknowledges their essential role as caregivers. Students also received white coats and lapel pins, a stethoscope in the shape of a heart surrounded by the words "humanism in medicine," to remind them compassion and empathy must be the hallmark of their clinical practice.
The university offers three undergraduate nursing programs: traditional, full-time nursing students; part-time evening program for adult students; and the RN to BSN Expressway Program. The undergraduate nursing programs are designed to meet the special educational and scheduling needs of adult and traditional students. They all lead to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree.
