Moffett & Sanders School of Nursing Pinning Ceremony

On December 12, Moffett & Sanders School of Nursing recognized 48 Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduates during a virtual pinning ceremony.The pinning tradition is a special rite of passage for all nursing students. While the diploma is representative of a graduate's proficiency in the science of nursing, the pin is representative of their mastery of the art of nursing. Designed by the class of 1974, the Moffett & Sanders School of Nursing pin features two colors, gold in representation of the golden rule and blue to represent truth and loyalty. Found in the center of the pin is a stack of books to represent the knowledge students have gained and will continue to gain throughout their career. The pin also features the image of a lamp in honor of Florence Nightingale who was frequently documented as carrying a lamp as she made her nightly rounds in the hospital wards. Fourth-two out of 48 members of the December class of 2020 have already accepted positions serving as nurses across the country.
