In Their Words
The best experience in my major has been my clinical rotations, especially my capstone clinical rotation in the pediatric emergency department at Hershey Medical Center. My experience has been wonderful, as I am in a setting that aligns directly with what I want to do after graduation. This is also an example of how LVC is driven to promote student success by helping them gain professional experience.

I am inspired by our remarkable nursing students鈥攚hose passion and dedication to our profession will help shape the future of compassionate care. Together, I am confident the BSN team will continue to uphold LVC鈥檚 tradition of academic excellence, community spirit, and unwavering commitment to student success.
Dr. Terri Worthey,
Chair of Nursing
The most rewarding part of being a nurse is seeing patients leave the ICU. When parents trust you enough to leave their child in your care, or when they share moments of their child鈥檚 life with you, it is a feeling like no other.
