If you weren't able to attend the ceremony or would like to experience it again, watch the full 2026 Adult Practical Nursing Pinning Ceremony. 

The Pinning Ceremony is a meaningful nursing tradition that celebrates students as they complete the Adult Practical Nursing Program and transition from student nurses to graduate nurses. Throughout the ceremony, graduates were recognized for the hard work, determination, and compassion they demonstrated while preparing for careers in healthcare.

Joined by family, friends, faculty, and classmates, each graduate received a nursing pin, symbolizing their commitment to the profession and to delivering compassionate, high-quality patient care.

With the program now complete, graduates will prepare for the NCLEX-PN (National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses), the next step toward becoming Licensed Practical Nurses. Their education and hands-on clinical experiences have equipped them with the skills and confidence to care for patients in hospitals, long-term care facilities, medical offices, and other healthcare settings throughout the region.

Congratulations to the Adult Practical Nursing Class of 2026 on this outstanding achievement. We are proud of all they have accomplished and wish them continued success as they begin their nursing careers!
