FLORENCE – Northwest-Shoals Community College’s (NW-SCC) Nursing Program honored 86 nursing graduates at its annual pinning ceremony Thursday, May 9, 2019, at Woodmont Baptist Church in Florence.

NW-SCC Director of Nursing, Brittney Humphres, faculty, and students participated in the ceremony that included remarks by Dr. Glenda Colagross, President of NW-SCC; Kimberly Brooks, NW-SCC Practical Nursing (PN) class representative; Casey Springer, NW-SCC Associate Degree Nursing (AND) class representative; and special remarks by Sarah Wilkinson-Buchmann, DNP, RN Alabama State Nurses Association President. Remarks were followed by the presentation of the pins, the Nightingale Pledge, and candle lighting.

The symbolic tradition of the ceremonial pinning originated in the 1860s at the Nightingale School of Nursing Hospital in London. The nursing pin received by graduates is a type of badge, awarded by the program’s faculty as a symbolic welcome into the profession. Both PN students and ADN students participated in the ceremony.
