JCC Spring 2023 Nursing Graduates Pinned
Jefferson
Community College (JCC) held its annual Pinning Ceremony for graduates of
the College’s nursing program on May 18, 2023 in
the College’s Sturtz Theater. Thirty-three (33)
candidates for the Associate in Applied Science
(A.A.S.) degree in nursing were eligible to take part in this special program.
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 the presentation of 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 Samantha F. Sharp
of Watertown.

Hospital School of Nursing Alumni Award, established to honor a senior
nursing student who exemplifies excellence in caring
and providing service to the sick, was awarded to Eldon Richard Kilpatrick
of Watertown.
Alexandra N.
Greene of Copenhagen is the recipient of the Marion Brennon
Personal Growth in Nursing Award, bestowed upon an individual who
perseveres in the nursing program while overcoming many personal challenges
along the way.

Gouverneur is the recipient of the Samaritan Medical Center HEART
Award which recognizes a student who consistently incorporates compassion
and comfort measures during his/her care for patients.
The STAR
Award in Memory of Dr. Walter S. Atkinson, bestowed upon an individual

performed at the highest level, was awarded to Erica L. Suschinski
