Graduates of JCC's Nursing Program Are Pinned
Jefferson Community College held its annual Pinning Ceremony for graduates of the College’s nursing program on May 15, 2008 in the College’s Sturtz Theater. Twenty candidates for the Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in nursing were eligible to take part in this special program.
The “Pinning Ceremony” is a time-honored tradition at all institutions of higher education that offer degrees in nursing. The ceremony is symbolic of the transition from a student to entry into nursing as a profession. The pin is designed to be unique to each school of nursing. After being “pinned”, each student recites Florence Nightingale’s pledge.
