Lock Haven Nursing Honor Society Establishes ‘Scrubs for Students’ Uniform Closet

The 2022 Nursing Honor Society at Commonwealth University’s Lock Haven campus has established an Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) uniform closet to help decrease the financial strain of nursing school.

The “Scrubs for Students” closet is open to all nursing students who are in need of assistance with the purchase of clinical uniforms.

To launch the closet, scrubs were collected from the 2022 graduating class and nursing alumni. The uniforms are in good pre-owned condition, laundered, and ready to use for the students’ clinical days. The uniforms are free, but honor society members are asking for a small donation to help the Lock Haven Nursing Honor Society keep this worthwhile student service available to minimize additional costs for future nursing students.

The “Scrubs for Students” closet opened on Friday, Aug. 12, during the ASN nursing student orientation. Three second-year honor society members, Stephanie Beck, Elijah Williams, and Sarah Snyder, assisted with the launch of the closet. Approximately 25 new members of the Class of 2024 visited the closet with more than $210 in donations collected to help future Nursing Honor Society students maintain this valuable student service.
