The Lourdes University College of Nursing welcomes the newest nursing students at the White Coat Ceremony, on Monday, January 9 at 4:30 pm in the Franciscan Center, 6832 Convent Blvd.

The White Coat Ceremony is an iconic ritual established by The Arnold P. Gold Foundation. In 2014, recognizing the vital role nurses play in the healthcare system, the Gold Foundation partnered with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) to adopt a White Coat Ceremony for nursing.

No guests permitted, the event will be taped and placed on the College of Nursing YouTube channel.
