PSC Nursing Program
The Grant County Bank recently contributed $10,000 to the new nursing program at Potomac State College. The $10,000 donation will be used to purchase a patient care bed in the School's state-of-the-art skills lab and simulation facility. The skills lab will allow nursing students to practice patient care in a multitude of medical scenarios. “Generous donations like the one from Grant County Bank will supplement our program funding to help ensure our Keyser Campus BSN students are learning in the most state-of-the-art, evidence-based simulation environment possible,” said April Shapiro, PhD, RN and BSN chairperson for WVU School of Nursing Potomac State. “We are so grateful for their generous donation.” Pictured are George Ford and Tracy Kesner from The Grant County Bank and Lucas See and April Shapiro from Potomac State College of WVU.
