history of pinning celebration
the school of nursing has many traditions, one of which has been the use of a nursing cap and the bscn pin as part of the uniform. each nursing school had its own cap and pin, the receipt of which was often celebrated with a special ceremony/event at the time of graduation from the nursing program. nursing 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 initiated the capping and pinning ceremony in 1975 at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 . at that time, 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 requested that the cap and pin be presented to each student during the convocation weekend.
over the years, nurses were no longer required to wear a nursing cap, but the use of a pin remains a part of their uniforms. as a result, the capping and pinning ceremony has gradually evolved to become primarily a pinning ceremony, during which the accomplishment and successful completion of the program is celebrated. the pin awarded at the ceremony signifies the completion of the bscn degree.
