School of Nursing Holds Summer Pinning Ceremony

The Nursing Pinning Ceremony for summer nursing graduates was held Friday, August 8, 2014 in the Student Center.

There were 25 LPN graduates and 39 RN graduates for the summer term. Graduates Lindsay Ashbaugh (PN) and Lindsay Myers (RN) spoke on behalf of their group, then each graduate was pinned by a member of the nursing faculty. The graduates ended the ceremony by reciting the International Nursing Pledge. The pinning ceremony is an old tradition marking the graduate's official beginning of their professional nursing career.
