Nursing students honored with pinning ceremony
Nursing graduate Jammie Kaeck, of Sidney, smiles for family upon receiving her nursing pin.
PIQUA The year 2020 has presented unprecedented challenges, making the nursing pinning ceremony held on Friday, Dec. 11, so special for the 34 Edison State Community College students who completed the nursing program.
The pinning ceremony is a time-honored tradition in which the graduate nurse is presented to family and friends as a professional who is about to practice nursing. The graduate is usually “pinned” by the faculty members who have worked with them throughout their studies. Each school has a unique pin, which serves as a symbol of the successful completion of a rigorous curriculum, which prepares its graduates to administer to the sick and injured and promote health through the practice of nursing.
