On Monday November 2, 2009 the East Vancouver campus held their Pinning Ceremony for the Practical Nurses. The Practical Nurses will be graduating on Friday November 6th! The East Vancouver campus had 9 students attend with their family and friends. The Pinning Ceremony took place at the Renfrew Community Center and the students underwent the old tradition of the pinning and capping of new nurses. This is a tradition dating and originating back to Florence Nightingale in the 1800′s. Students receive a traditional nurses cap, a pin and a candle while the Practical Nursing students recite the Florence Nightingale Pledge.
