Thursday, June 06, 2019
MAYS LANDING, NJ (06/03/2019)-- Atlantic Cape Community College awarded nursing pins to 69 new nursing graduates at its annual Nurses Pinning Ceremony on Wednesday, May 22 at the Middle Township Performing Arts Center in Cape May Court House. The pins signify the completion of the nursing degree program at Atlantic Cape. The Keynote Address was given by Dawn K. Mutchko and Class President Andrew Concepcion delivered the student address. During the ceremony, the class of 2019 presented a donation to The Marie Adelaide Center of Atlantic City.
The Nursing Pinning is a dignified and highly respected ceremony as it signifies entry into the nursing profession. Participation in a Nursing Pinning Ceremony is an honor as it allows this rite of passage to be shared with fellow graduates, friends and family members. For many, the Pinning Ceremony remains one of our finest nursing moments as it represents a great accomplishment for which much has been sacrificed. The Nursing Program faculty and staff as well as the College take great pride in the Pinning ceremony. At Atlantic Cape, the Nursing Pinning ceremony is held in May of each year in a venue in either Atlantic or Cape May County. The preparation of the Pinning Ceremony is done by the Student Nurse Club members with guidance by the faculty club advisors.
