Studying in the practical nursing program at Algonquin College can be intense, with a stressful workload and sleepless nights. However, the hard work pays off at the pinning ceremony, where students receive their practical nursing pin in front of their fellow graduates, friends, and family.
15 practical nursing graduates received their pins at the Algonquin Commons Theatre, marking their transition from students to members of the wider nursing community.
“It’s a lot of hard work,”said graduating student Anjali Chandel, who organized the pinning ceremony.
“We deserve to celebrate that hard work, the success, and the stress we took on over the two years.”
Chandel opened and closed the ceremony with inspiring words for her new nursing colleagues, celebrating the end of their long journey and the start of their new career.
