Nursing Students Achieve Next Level

2015 Sep 28

Lakeview College of Nursing recently held a ceremony in order to recognize students who have achieved a specific level within their bachelor's degree nursing program. Michaela Cline of Charleston, IL received a White Coat and Level II Nursing Pin during the celebration.

The White Coat/Level Pinning Ceremony demonstrates the student's commitment to compassionate and humanistic care and in some cases marks the beginning of clinical practice.

The event was made possible by a grant received through Gold-AACN White Coat Ceremony for Nursing. The White Coat Oath and Nightengale Nursing Pledge were recited and a symbolic flame was lit during the ceremony. Lakeview's faculty assisted with the donning of the white coats and pinning of each student.

Mary (Mimi) S. Skinner, MSN, RN-BC, CNOR Clinical Educator, was the guest speaker at the event. She addressed the students on their role in the nursing profession. Skinner currently works as a clinical educator and resuscitation education initiative (REdI) program director at the VA Illiana Health Care System in Danville, IL.
