Nursing students take oath during first 'white coat ceremony'

Eastern's first cohort of nursing students held the university's inaugural "white coat ceremony" on Jan. 23 in the Fine Arts Instructional Center Concert Hall.

A rite of passage for nursing students across the world, the ceremony marks the beginning of students' clinical education and their commitment to compassionate patient care. During Eastern's ceremony, 28 students donned their white coats and received a "Keeping Healthcare Human" pin from the Arnold P. Gold Foundation, whose namesake established the ceremony in 1993.

The students will now begin on-site clinical experience at two sites this semester: Pierce Memorial Baptist Nursing and Rehabilitation in Brooklyn and Westview Health Care Center in Killingly.
