The Ancilla College Nursing department has officially been
honoring the hard work, dedication and professionalism of their graduating
nurses with pinning ceremonies for a decade. The tenth professional pinning
ceremony took place on Sunday, May 31 at the Catherine Kasper Life Center
Chapel.
Berniece Umbaugh, a registered nurse with 70 years of
nursing experience served as the honored guest speaker. Tiffany Addington of
Walkerton, Melissa Barenie of Rochester, Shelly Day of Knox and Angela Leary of
Plymouth were the four nurses pinned during this year’s ceremony.
Nursing Division Chair, Ann Fitzgerald, described the pin as
distinctly unique to the Ancilla Nursing Program. She said many nurses go on to
proudly wear their pins daily as they administer care to patients in their
future positions.
