The pinning ceremony signifies an important milestone in the lives of nursing graduates as they prepare to transition from undergraduate students to nursing professionals.

The Healing Presence Ceremony, an annual tradition in NSC's School of Nursing, is an event many nursing students, faculty, and staff look forward to as a time to reflect and rededicate themselves to the art of caring.

Students choosing nursing as their field of study at NSC endure a rigorous program. So rigorous, in fact, that many students often have to grapple with the decision as to whether they can commit to the full academic schedules because of family and work obligations.
