Motlow recently pinned nearly 40 nursing students at its 49^th Annual Pinning Ceremony. Nursing faculty presented the students with pins bearing Motlow’s insignia to reflect the school they attended and symbolize the completion of an Associate of Applied Sciences degree in Nursing.

Class President Kaleb McKissick and Dean of Health Sciences Dr. Amy Holder both spoke at the event, congratulating students on their success and recognizing students who served in officer positions.

McMinnville Instructor Linda A. Hemmila, Moore County Instructor Janet Thornton, and Interim Director of Nursing Brittany Clark pinned their respective graduates. Assistant Professor of Nursing Dr. Stacey Harlan led the students in reciting the Nightingale Pledge, named after Florence Nightingale, in which students promise to uphold the values and mission of the medical field. They also participated in the traditional lamp lighting, which symbolizes becoming a beacon of hope to the patients they serve.

Motlow congratulates all of these graduates on this achievement and wishes them success in their future endeavors. Visit Motlow’s website to learn how to enroll in the nursing program or to find information about other degree pathways.
