Fairmont State University honored students in the College of Nursing during its traditional White Coat Ceremony on Monday, March 28.

The white coat marks a student’s transition from pre-nursing to entrance into clinical nursing practice, or for RNs who are continuing their education. During the ceremony, the white coat is placed on each student’s shoulders by nursing faculty and concludes with the recitation of the Nurses Pledge.
