COURTESY OF COLLEGE OF NURSING Nursing graduates celebrate after last year’s pinning ceremony.

On May 2 from 3 p.m. – 6 p.m., NSU’s Ron and Kathy Assaf College of Nursing will host a pinning ceremony after commencement for pre-licensure nursing graduates at the Rick Case Arena. Alongside receiving the nursing pin, the undergraduate students will light a lamp and take a pledge.

Stefanie La Manna, dean and associate professor in the Ron and Kathy Assaf College of Nursing, said more than 150 students from across the Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Fort Myers campuses will receive a pin. Although the ceremony happens twice a year, this will be the first time it combines three campuses.

“I’m looking forward to our graduating nurses becoming professional nurses to help our shortage,” La Manna said. “We’re super excited. I’m excited for the students as they enter the nursing profession.”

All students are welcome to attend the ceremony.
