Megan Ulm of Peoria, Illinois, part of historic event at Olivet

2017 Sep 29

Megan Ulm of Peoria, Illinois, was one of 37 Level One nursing students who participated in Olivet Nazarene University's first ever White Coat Ceremony. This event was made possible by the generosity of The Arnold P. Gold Foundation (Gold Foundation) and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN).

Olivet is one of only 50 nursing schools in the country to receive funding to support the White Coat Ceremony for 2017. During Olivet's ceremony on Friday, Sept. 22, each Level One student received a white lab coat and recited an oath, pledging their commitment to the profession and their patients. Dr. Tiffany Greer, director of nursing programs, along with several nursing faculty members, extended their congratulations and blessings to the students. Also attending were students' families, Olivet alumni and many friends.

This event was made possible with a grant from The Arnold P. Gold Foundation to support the Gold-AACN White Coat Ceremony for Nursing.
