Sunday, January 11 marked an exciting and memorable day for 149 Mount Carmel College of Nursing sophomores as they celebrated the Sophomore Pinning Ceremony at First Church of God.

Students from both the Columbus and Fairfield campuses participated in the event, which is an annual tradition symbolizing a rite of passage— a milestone that represents a student’s academic achievement and progression toward direct patient care. As part of the ceremony, students received a gold pin embellished with a lamp, reminiscent of the lamp used by Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, in the Crimean War.

Years ago, students received special nursing caps as part of the sophomore ceremony. The gold pin has now replaced the caps. The modern Sophomore Pinning celebrates the ministry students commit to their educational journey.

Congratulations to these MCCN sophomores for receiving their pins:
