В больницах WVU Medicine приняли 16 новых студентов-медсестер

WVU Medicine’s Thomas Hospitals welcome 16 new nursing students SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) - A new generation of nurses is coming to West Virginia University Medicine’s Thomas Hospitals in South Charleston. Wednesday’s signing ceremony welcomed 16 nursing students to the 7th cohort at the hospitals as part of WVU Medicine’s Aspiring Nurse Program at Bridge Valley Community & Technical College. Shayla Silva, an aspiring nurse in the program, said pursuing a career in medicine is meaningful for her whole family. “A few years ago, I lost my dad, who was a major role model for me. He worked at EMS,” Silva told WSAZ. “Knowing that I have my mom, my extended family, and that I do get to carry my dad through this journey, and he is with me always. Just knowing that this is something that I’m not just accomplishing, but also my family is as well.” WVU Medicine’s Thomas Hospital is also donating new helmets to South Charleston High School on Thursday. Those helmets are equipped with InSite Smart Helmet technology with Riddell InSite Analytics to collect data on how students are physically impacted. This is done in partnership with Sports Equipment Company, Riddell, and the WVU Neuroscience Institute. Copyright 2026 WSAZ. All rights reserved.
