Congratulations to our nursing students who received their pins Saturday! With 68 students in participation, this was the largest class to be pinned in the history of this program. Several of the pinner’s at Saturday’s ceremony are alum of the LLCC ADN program, it was nice to welcome them back for this full circle moment. To this year’s graduating nurses, we celebrate you and your accomplishments!

Taking the Florence Nightengale Pledge.
A pinning ceremony is a symbolic welcoming of newly graduated or soon-to-be graduated nurses into the nursing profession. Students are pinned by an honored nurse of their choice. The ceremony is concluded with an alumni of the program taking stage to lead the new nurses in the “Florence Nightingale Pledge” while nurses in attendance are also invited to stand and recite pledge.
Outstanding Traditional Student recipient was Jackie Romer and Outstanding Transition Student recipient was Dustin Davenport.
Baby season is upon us in nursing! The ADN family has just grown again with the addition of little baby Bennett Alan Greenwood. Born to Brooke Greenwood, nursing skills lab professional and adjunct clinical instructor, on Feb. 22, 2024. Weighing in at a whopping 9 pounds, 14 ounces and 22 inches long, mom is feeling much relief to have baby in her arms at last! Brooke and baby Bennett are home with dad and big sisters, and all are blissfully relishing in this family time.
