White Coat Ceremony marks important milestone for advanced practice students
Nearly 60 first-year students in the UCLA Nursing Master of Science – Advanced Practice Registered Nurse program received their white coats at the 2024 APRN White Coat Ceremony.
This annual event symbolizes students’ entrance to advanced practice.
Joined by their families and friends, students heard from faculty and student speakers, program leaders, and Dean Lin Zhan. UCLA Nursing alumnus Dr. James Simmons gave the keynote address – focusing on the importance of becoming a leader in nursing and finding success in that journey.
Congratulations to all of the UCLA Nursing first year APRN students for taking this transformative step.
