Nursing Pinning Ceremony

Thursday, April 29th was the UVU Nursing Pinning Ceremony. This is where I got pinned as an official nurse! If only that was the only thing that was required to be certified as a nurse...still have the NCLEX to worry about. The night was great! I loved seeing all my nursing buddies cross the stage and get their pins. I have absolutely LOVED my nursing program here at UVU. I have loved the people, teachers, just the whole experience in general...It was so nice during the stressful times to have people who knew exactly what I was going through! Gotta love nurses! We are cool.


Waiting to go on stage. Why do I still look flippin pregnant? grrr...


Getting "pinned" by one of the nursing instructors, Mina Wayman.


Recessional. I am holding a Florence Nightingale lamp that I guess is tradition. Before the recessional, we all recited the Florence Nightingale Pledge...pledging to be a good nurse, help patients, etc...


It's hard to see, but this is the pin.

We had our personal bios in the printed program.


Jess and I enlisted Laura to help with Crew so Jess could take some pictures. She was SO good with him. I am so thankful she was able to help us out!


Some of my nursing friends. Ashlei Bluth, Lacy, Kym Heslington (holding Crew--check out his bald spot), and Megan Asay.


Megan Asay and her daughter,Elle, and me and Crew. We both had babies during nursing school. crazy, eh? Megan had her daughter during the craziest semester EVER and still rocked it in the grade dept--she's my hero.


Can't forget my besties Amy and Michelle


Most of us.

I LOVE this group! Can't wait until next semester...yeah right.
