PIQUA – Edison State Community College honored its most recent nursing graduates on May 10, with a pinning ceremony held before an audience of family and friends at the Piqua Campus. The pinning ceremony is a time-honored tradition in which the graduate nurse is presented to family and friends as a professional who is about to practice nursing, and the graduate is usually “pinned” by the faculty members who have worked with the students throughout their course of study. Rebecca Peterson, of Yorkshire, was Darke County’s only nursing graduate in the Edison program. Each college has a unique pin, which serves as a symbol of the successful completion of a rigorous curriculum, which prepares its graduates to administer to the sick and injured and promote health through the practice of nursing.
Edison State President Dr. Doreen Larson welcomed friends and family members and commended those being pinned. Provost Chris Spradlin shared with the graduates why nurses are special to his family and congratulated the class. Program Administrator of Nursing Jill Bobb gave a speech praising the hard work and determination of the students, while recognizing the sacrifices made by the family members and friends who have supported them while completing their degrees. When reached for comment, nursing class representative Nickita Malcom, of Troy, expressed her enthusiasm for being pinned and noted the hard work that has gone into reaching this milestone. Each of the 37 graduates had the opportunity to submit a word of thanks to those who have made the end of this portion of their education possible, which was read as they received their
pin from an Edison State nursing faculty member. Graduates of the program will move on to the next phase of their career, which involves taking the registered nurse licensing exam and seeking employment. Edison State Community College’s nursing program has maintained full accreditation and approval over its 36-year history. In 2013, Edison State’s Associate of Nursing Degree program was granted a full five-year approval by the Ohio Board of Nursing. In 2011, the program earned an eight-year accreditation from the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission, the highest level a program can receive. Applications for Edison State’s Registered Nursing program are currently being accepted for spring 2018 semester. For more information about the nursing program, visit www.edisonohio.edu/programs or call (937) 778-8600.
