Pinning is a significant milestone for any nursing student, and on Wednesday, a cohort of ABSN students achieved that milestone through a pinning ceremony.

Nurses are the backbone of the healthcare industry, keepers of the Nightingale Pledge, and members of one of the most trusted and valued professions in the world. Their work constantly elevates the delivery of healthcare services, improving patient safety, promoting wellness, improving access to care, reducing healthcare costs, and doing it all while ensuring the best possible patient outcomes.
Whether you’re earning your first degree in nursing, or your next one, your efforts are part of something bigger, advancing the nursing profession itself while ensuring everyone gets the kind of care we’d all want our own family and friends to have access to. It’s a noble profession, and one that attracts people with purpose.
That’s why we want to show our appreciation to future nurses and those advancing in the field by making it a little easier to cover the cost of earning a degree by offering the 2021 Honors in Nursing Scholarship – worth $1,000!
