A Tradition of Excellence
The LPN Pinning Ceremony is a cherished tradition that marks the transition from nursing student to nursing professional. This meaningful event honors the dedication, resilience, and compassion demonstrated by our Practical Nursing students throughout their program.
Family members, friends, faculty, and community supporters are invited to join us as we recognize our graduates. Each pin and stole they receive represents the knowledge, compassion, and resilience gained throughout the program. Graduates will also partake in the lighting ceremony and nursing pledge, reaffirming their commitment to the nursing profession.
The ceremony symbolizes the beginning of a career devoted to caring for others and reflects North Central’s commitment to preparing highly skilled, compassionate nurses for our region.
