Congratulations to the graduates of the Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES Adult Practical Nursing Program on reaching this incredible milestone! 

During Friday's Pinning Ceremony, students were recognized for successfully completing the Practical Nursing Program and for the dedication, perseverance, and compassion they demonstrated throughout their journey. The Pinning Ceremony is a cherished nursing tradition that symbolizes the transition from student nurse to graduate nurse and celebrates each student's commitment to the nursing profession and to providing compassionate, high-quality patient care.

As our graduates prepare to take the NCLEX-PN (National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses) and begin their careers as Licensed Practical Nurses, we are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished. We look forward to the positive impact they will make in hospitals, long-term care facilities, medical offices, and communities throughout our region.
