St. Francis holds first nursing ‘White Coat’ ceremony
More than 40 undergraduate nursing students received medical “White Coats” emblazoned with the St. Francis College logo to show their dedication to the health and well-being of their future patients at St. Francis College’s first White Coat Ceremony on May 12.
May 12 is also the birthday of Florence Nightingale, credited with elevating nursing to a respected and professional field of health care.
The college places a heavy focus on technology in its four-year undergraduate nursing program as well as its two-year RN-to-BS program. Each student received an iPad to be used for textbooks and to link with the college’s newly renovated Nursing Lab. The lab features a collection of robot simulators that mimic thousands of symptoms for students to diagnose. All the work is captured on video, giving instructors the opportunity to pinpoint specific areas for improvement.
