Spring 2021 Nurse Pinning Ceremony Live-Streamed
Jefferson
Community College's (JCC) annual Pinning Ceremony for graduates of the
College’s nursing program was streamed live on May 26, 2021
due to the coronavirus pandemic. Thirty-seven (37) candidates for the
Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in nursing were eligible to
take part in this special program. The nurse pinning ceremony is available
on the College’s YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/SUNYJefferson.
The “Pinning
Ceremony” is a time-honored tradition at all institutions of higher
education that offer degrees in nursing. The ceremony is symbolic of the
transition from a student to entry into nursing as a profession. The pin is
designed to be unique to each school of nursing. After being “pinned,” each
student recites Florence Nightingale’s pledge.
During the
Pinning Ceremony, JCC nursing students were honored for their outstanding
achievements with various awards.
The Debra
R. Marsala Excellence in Nursing Award, bestowed upon an individual who
demonstrates dedication, excellence and passion
for the profession of nursing, was awarded to Keyawnna

nursing student who exemplifies excellence in caring and providing service
to the sick, was awarded to Allison L. Howard, Brownville.
