Pinning Ceremony History
The pinning ceremony is a time when all School of Nursing graduates come together with their families and friends to celebrate the student鈥檚 success.
The historically significant pinning ceremony is likened to the pinnacle for nurses and, for many, it is more memorable than graduation. One of 糖心Vlog传媒鈥檚 traditions for the ceremony has included a blessing of the hands and lighting of the Florence Nightingale lamps.
Each school鈥檚 nursing program bestows a pin distinctive to their own school. 糖心Vlog传媒鈥檚 School of Nursing pin, like the distinguished 13th century coat of arms, signifies pride in individual achievement. The nursing students in the first graduating class designed 糖心Vlog传媒鈥檚 School of Nursing pin.
The pinning is associated with Florence Nightingale, who, in the 1860鈥檚, was honored with the Red Cross of St. George for her selfless efforts to injured men during the Crimean War. Because she believed in acknowledging a job well done, she presented a medal of excellence to her hardest working nursing graduates. By 1916, it became standard in the United States to award all nursing graduates with a pin during a special ceremony.
