Forty-eight Wor-Wic Community College associate degree in nursing (ADN) graduates recently participated in an awards and recognition ceremony.
The nurse pinning ceremony, modeled after a tradition started by Florence Nightingale in the 1860s, initiates nurse graduates into the profession. Wor-Wic’s most recent pinning for ADN students took place at Parkside High School in Salisbury. The event this year featured a keynote address by Dr. Pamela G. Budd, associate professor of nursing.
Special awards were presented by Dr. Brenda J. Mister, department head and professor of nursing, and Chelsea Milligan, instructor of nursing. Kayla Haney was the student speaker.
