IOWA CITY – More than 70 University of Iowa Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students celebrated a significant personal milestone earlier this fall when they participated in the UI College of Nursing's biannual White Coat Ceremony, according to an Oct. 2 news release.
Among those 70 students are Lytton’s Brooklin McKinney and Sydnie Schultz of Lake City.
The donning of the white coat symbolizes a nursing student's transition to clinical nursing course work and live patient care.
The recently white-coated BSN students officially joined a college with a rich tradition of more than 120 years of nursing and a mass of alumni who have impacted health care across the country and around the world.
In addition to receiving their new attire, the UI's newest BSN students also are the beneficiaries of a major renovation to the College's primary facility.
