The Kyungil University Department of Nursing held ���The 4th Annual Nightingale Oath-taking Ceremony��� in the library auditorium on November 14th. At this ceremony, more than 500 people were in attendance, including Chung Hyun-Tae, the president of KIU, as well as students from the nursing department and their parents.

This year���s 102 Nightingales made a pledge to devote themselves to people���s health and welfare as professional nurses before they started to do clinical training.

KIU president, Chung Hyun-Tae, encouraged pre-nurses by giving a speech to them. ���A nurse is the one who leaves a very deep impression on patients and their family in the hospital. Be a real nurse who takes care of their patients and their family, and keep in mind the notion of ���Donating to charity���.

Established in 2010, the KIU nursing department has become a prestigious major. The pre-nurses who took the oath will do clinical training for a year in Kyungpook University Hospital, Dongsan Medical Center, and other hospitals to prepare them for becoming a practical nurse.
