Nursing Pinning Ceremony

The nursing faculty and administration of the Ila Faye Miller School of Nursing and Health Professions hold a pinning ceremony to honor their graduates. The pinning ceremony is a nursing tradition from the time of Florence Nightingale in the late 1800s that signified that the individual completed the requirements from the nursing education program. As part of the pinning ceremony, the graduates also recite a modernized Nightingale Pledge that is based on principles and ethics of the nursing profession.
