Ijeoma Okonkwo receives Nursing Pin from CMU

2014 May 28

Ijeoma Okonkwo received a nursing pin from Central Methodist University during a special ceremony held Friday, May 9. Thirty-one senior nursing students took part in the ceremony.

The nursing pin is a type of badge worn to identify the nursing school from which they graduated. It is a symbol of academic preparation, recognizing graduating students for completion of rigorous education and training in preparation for work as a professional nurse. Pins are traditionally presented to new nurses by faculty at a pinning ceremony as a symbolic welcome into the profession.
