St. Francis College honors newest class of nursing students
Second Annual White Coat Ceremony
Brooklyn Heights’ St. Francis College recently honored its future nurses by hosting its second annual Nursing White Coat Ceremony. Dozens of undergraduate Nursing students each received a medical coat emblazoned with the St. Francis College Nursing logo.
The keynote address at the ceremony was delivered by Anne Bové, MSN, a professor at St. Francis College, instructor at Bellevue Hospital and secretary of the New York State Nurses Association. “Nursing is a creed that is a gift,” Bové told the students. “That gift is to be shared with your patients as well as your colleagues and hopefully you’ll be able to share with future generations as well.”
St. Francis also honored Sister Helen Cahill who is retiring this spring after spending more than 10 years as an assistant in the Nursing Department and helping to guide hundreds of students through the program.
