“In a treasured tradition, (Our Lady of the Angels Province friar) Father Jude DeAngelo, OFM Conv., University chaplain and director of campus ministry, blessed the hands of over 150 student nurses from the 2022 and 2023 classes in the University’s Conway School of Nursing, earlier this fall.
The annual White Coat Dedication and Blessing of the Hands Ceremony held at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception (Washington DC) reminds student nurses of the need for patient-centered, humanistic care and seeks a commitment to the highest standards of the profession. The 2022 blessing was delayed by COVID.
