Nursing students mark halfway point

Sadie Nass, of New London, left, a second-year Ridgewater College nursing student, steps forward during the white-coat ceremony Tuesday in the student center. She was one of 24 students - 23 women and one man - who marked their transition from pre-nursing into the Bachelor of Science nursing program. Nass, who expects to graduate in the fall of 2017, said she has always wanted to be a nurse.
