On Thursday, Nov. 9, 11 members of the LLCC Student Radiographers Association and Janelle Murphy, program director, radiography, volunteered at HSHS Mission Outreach. Mission Outreach is an organization that accepts medical supply donations from all over the U.S. These donations are sorted at the center and then shipped overseas to various countries in need. The club members sorted, counted, weighed and boxed supplies to help expedite the process. They are current students of LLCC’s associate degree radiography program and demonstrated a strong commitment to bettering health care concerns across the world!

On Monday, July 24, 16 newly graduated practical nursing (PCN) students were celebrated and recognized in the very first PCN pinning ceremony held in the Trutter Center. A pinning ceremony is a symbolic welcoming of newly graduated or soon-to-be graduated nurses into the nursing profession. The graduates are pinned by another nurse of significance in their lives. The ceremony concludes with all nurses in attendance reciting the Florence Nightingale Pledge.
