Capital Comm College Pinning Ceremony 2019
Donation protected
Help us to celebrate our achievements to become Registered Nurses!
The class of 2019 from Capital Community College is graduating this spring and with the receipt of our diplomas we will also prepare for the time honored tradition of getting our nursing pins. The school does not provide us with monetary assistance for this amazing ceremony so it is up to us, the students of the class, to come up with funding for it. We have come a long way, through many struggles both personally and educationally, to get to this point in our lives. We are looking forward to spending this experience with our families and friends and we hope that you will be willing to help in any way you possibly can!
Here is a short background of what the pinning ceremony means to a graduate nurse:
"The noble tradition of the pinning ceremony dates back 100 years to the modern nursing founder, Florence Nightingale. By 1916, all nursing students in the U.S. received a pin after completing the courses needed to sit for their state nursing licensing examination. Pin designs vary by school but often depict an oil lamp like the one used by Florence Nightingale when helping wounded soldiers at night during the Crimean War."
Students will dress in the traditional white outfit to pay homage to the standard nursing uniform. Pins will be selected and given to each student graduating at the end of the upcoming semester. Each student picks a person that they feel has had an extraordinary part in the completion of the program (this can be a staff member, family member or fellow nurse) and this person will place the pin on the student.
This is an extremely important part of our education to get to. We are all excited and are looking forward to becoming amazing nurses for you and your loved ones.
