Keynote Speaker: Jodi LoDolce, MBA, BSN, RN

Chief Nursing Officer HCA Florida JFK Hospital

Location: Carole and Barry Kaye Auditorium, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton, FL 33431

The White Coat Ceremony instills a commitment to provide compassionate care among future health professionals. This program promotes humanistic, patient-centered care among incoming nursing students.

Support for Nursing Students

As a symbol of the start of the nursing journey, the white coat confirms a commitment to compassion, humanism and professionalism within the field. Now more than ever, choosing a career in nursing is a portrait of courage and dedication that merits recognition.

As our students boldly step into nursing during such challenging times, they need the support of the collective community like never before.
