The University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Nursing recently held Nightingale White Coat Ceremonies to recognize new students in its Accelerated Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing program. Students are enrolled in the college’s Omaha, Lincoln, Kearney and Scottsbluff divisions. The division in Norfolk recently announced it’s launching a program. Classes will begin in January. Applications are being accepted.
During the ceremonies, nursing students recited an oath of professionalism, signed a pledge and donned white coats they will wear until graduation.
Donations from UNMC College of Nursing alumni and supporters help pay for the white coats, and also support student programming and activities.
