Description

The School of Nursing hosts a Nursing Honors and Pinning Ceremony for our graduating students. The pinning ceremony is a time-honored nursing school tradition which signifies the nursing graduate's official initiation into the brotherhood and sisterhood of nurses. This ceremony celebrates the transition from being nursing students to nursing professionals through the act of receiving a pin. TICKETS Ticketing is in place to ensure that everyone in your Cohort is able to invite 6 guests to the Ceremony.
