LWC's Director of Nursing Emiley Button said she is enthusiastic about celebrating these students and their formal transition from pre-clinical courses to the clinical component of their degree requirements.

"This is an outstanding group of individuals," said Button during the ceremony. "We are extremely proud of each and every one of them and are excited about their future in the LWC Program of Nursing."

In August, the LWC nursing program was one of 50 programs to receive funding from The Arnold P. Gold Foundation and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing to host white coat ceremonies for incoming nursing students. LWC held its first white coat ceremony in January 2011.

"The LWC nursing program would like to extend thanks to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) and the Arnold P. Gold Foundation for a grant that funded the White Coat Ceremony this year," Button concluded. "We appreciate the Gold Foundation's generous funding of our ceremony."
