- Nursing School Pinning Ceremony: What is the nursing school pinning ceremony? That’s a great question. As the semester winds down and nursing students prepare for graduation, they’ll likely have the privilege of attending a pinning ceremony.
Many nursing schools hold a pinning ceremony for graduating students, and some viewers have asked that I share my experience.
What is a Nursing School Pinning Ceremony?
The pinning ceremony is a way for nursing schools and professors to honor and congratulate the graduating class for their hard work, and to welcome them into the nursing profession. It functions much like a normal graduation, but it tends to focus exclusively on the graduating nursing students, rather than the entire graduating class from a university.
Rather than handing students a degree or diploma, an individual (usually a nursing professor or dean of the nursing college) will pin a small pin or ribbon onto the nursing student’s shirt, which is a symbolic way of saying, “You’ve made it! You’re one of us now.”
I enjoyed the pinning ceremony much more than the actual graduation ceremony, because the pinning ceremony focused exclusively on nursing students. I was able to talk to classmates and professors, and it was much more memorable and personal. It was also much shorter (I think it lasted about an hour or so). We didn’t wear a cap and gown to the pinning ceremony, but professional dress was encouraged (I wore a dress to mine).
In contrast, thousands of people attended the general graduation ceremony at my university. This ceremony was much more general (it included students from all majors), and it took about 3-4 hours to complete!
What Happens During a Nursing School Pinning Ceremony?
Our pinning ceremony was held in an auditorium on campus, which was decorated with balloons and floral arrangements. When we arrived outside of the auditorium, they had a large picture frame that included a picture of all the nursing students in our graduating class. (My nursing school had a tradition of taking a picture of all the nursing students for each graduating class and then hanging it up in the nursing building.)
Once we entered the building, several individuals introduced themselves on stage and gave a speech. Oftentimes, the dean of the nursing school will be present, as well as many nursing professors and staff.
The speakers offered some funny memories, recognized students who had excelled, gave some words of wisdom, and encouraged us in our future journey as nurses. A couple of students from our graduating class also gave a short speech.
After the speeches concluded, nursing students were called onto the stage one-by-one, at which point we were pinned by the teacher who was voted as our “favorite teacher” by our nursing class.
Finally, after everyone was pinned, the entire nursing student class stood in the auditorium and recited the famous “Nightingale Pledge,” written by Lystra Gretter. This pledge is similar to the Hippocratic oath taken by physicians:

I just finished my finals of my last semester this past Wednesday and have my pinning ceremony Friday the 5th!!! Your videos have been incredibly helpful during my time in school!!
Curtis Bovino congratulations
Very awesome! Congrats, Curtis! I'm so happy my videos have helped you! THANK YOU for using them. Also, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
Sarah, I am getting pinned TOMORROW and I wanted to thank you for pulling me out of the depths of failure in second semester!! I never cracked a book. I just listened and watched you! I am forever grateful❤
I love how I'm not even 15 yet but I've always wanted to be a nurse so guess what I've been doing for the past 3 weeks, watching nursing videos especially yours. Keep up the amazing videos and I hope you have a wonderful day/night :)
You're going to be an awesome nurse! It is great to see you have so much dedication already. Thank you for watching my videos. I really appreciate it :)
Sooooo…it’s 5 years later. What did you decide?!
I am about to have my pinning on May 25 and I wanted to thank you for all of your time and dediacation spent on making theses super useful videos. I have used your videos since day one of my nursing school. I am graduating with my LPN at Lincoln Technical Institute and i'm a little nervous about NCLEX but everyone says that ATI is much harder than NCLEX, wish me luck!
Hello Yolanda! The 25th is almost here! Congrats to you! I"m so honored you have used my videos since day one....that really, really means a lot to me. Yes, I'm heard the same thing about ATI vs NCLEX. I had to take HESI and I thought it was harder. I wish you the best :) Again, thank you for the kind comment.
🎉🎉🎉My pinning is on May 12th! I graduate with my BSN on May 13th! 🎉🎉🎉 Less than two weeks away from my BSN.....still can't believe it! I'm super excited. The most exciting part is that I've already accepted a job offer in the ICU! The residency program starts July 24th. Now all I have to do is pass the NCLEX 🙈
Congrats!! You've been a subscriber for a long time now, and I'm so happy you are graduating and that you got a job offer in the ICU...so awesome! I wish you the best when you take NCLEX. Thank you for leaving a comment.
This year is a little different! My pinning ceremony will be held virtually. I remember in 1st year one of our profs actually dressed up as Florence Nightingale at our initial pinning ceremony. I'm excited to see if she does it again over zoom. Thanks for the video!
I am glad it's over. My pinning ceremony is tomorrow. I'm excited for my mother who was a home health aide for years and always wanted to be a nurse. Otherwise, I love sleep. Sleep and money LOL that's the prize ;-)
I hope you have a great day tomorrow :) Yes, sleep is definitely a perk....but once I had a child that was gone again for me lol. Thank you for leaving a comment and for watching the video!
God willing my pinning ceremony will be Dec. 2017!!!
Mine too
L J Same for me!!
Yay! It will be here before you know it!
My pinning ceremony is June 4th can’t wait
Registered Queen Nurse RN !!!! A very big thank you . I couldn’t have done this without you . I’ll be graduating next week May 7th and having my pinning ceremony. Excited .
Congratulations Anne Cappelletti!! Very happy for you!
Hey Sarah! So I graduated last spring (2016) and had a baby during the summer. With a newborn I put off studying for the NCLEX. I kept rescheduling. I got the Saunders book to refresh on content, but I was taking too long with each chapter. I was kind of a wreck hahaha. I made the buildup and anticipation way more than it needed to be, and it was sort of debilitating. Girl, I wish that I had found your videos earlier! You are a true blessing! I bit the bullet and took the test on Monday. Found my name on the BRN website this morning :) I appreciate all of your help, you don't even know!
Best wishes,
Nicole, RN ;)
Hello Nicole RN :) Congratulations!! That is so AWESOME you passed. I know you have to feel so relieved it is over. I'm so glad you did find me and that the videos helped. Thank you for taking the time to leave this awesome comment. I'm so glad I could help a fellow RN out :) I hope you and your family are doing good. I wish you the best in your new career!
Praying to God I make it to mine in Dec 17.... almost done with this crazy chapter in my life...
My pinning is on May 6th! Thank you so much for your videos, they have helped me throughout nursing school! I plan to go over them again as part of my review for NCLEX! Thanks!
Very awesome your pinning is the 6th...only 5 more days woohoo! Thank you for watching my videos :) I'm honored you will be reviewing them to prep for NCLEX. Best wishes on it!
sounds pretty nice!! I want to have a nursing pinning ceremony some day! :-)
Sarah, I'm so thankful I found your channel! I'm starting nursing school this fall (AS) and your channel has already helped me so much! It's been such a long journey until I got here and I can't wait to get started!!! I'm also a Christian and a mom of 3!
God bless and keep up the good work 😃
Hello :) I'm so very happy you found me too! I hope my channel can be a resource for you during your nursing journey! It is awesome to see a fellow believer on here and mom :) I hope to see you on here more once you start! Thank you for watching the video and for this comment!
This video is awesome! I am fixing to graduate in 2 weeks. Super excited but also sad because like you said it's finally over. Great videos I have been watching a lot of your videos for a while and now to finish it off with this is great! Thanks for the info I really didn't know what to expect on the ceremony lol
Congrats on graduating in 2 weeks...so awesome!! Thank you for watching my videos...I really appreciate it. I wish you the best and hope you ace NCLEX ;)
Hello Sarah !!! I'm so excited that I finished Nursing school. I went for license practical nursing and finals were April 17th and I passed!! I'm absolutely ecstatic because it was extremely hard and I had to repeat Medsurg in my 4th term. Courses were accelerated and you had to learn and retain information that you would learn in 2 years in 1 year! Your videos have helped me tremendously and I appreciate you. My pinning ceremony is scheduled for May 12th. God willing when I attend, I look forward to seeing my classmates and professors, and enjoying the moment.
Hello :) Congrats!! I'm so happy for you. May 12th is almost here. I hope you enjoy the ceremony...it is such a memorable experience. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I wish you best on NCLEX when you take it.
I have to say that you are the sweetest person. Thank you for all of the work that you do to provide educational videos. You have been a huge help for me since I started nursing school last August. I have my MedSurg 1 and mental health finals next week so please keep me in mind.
You're a lovely person and I appreciate your dedication to the nursing profession. I can't wait for my pinning ceremony in May 2018! 👩🏻🎓👩🏻⚕️💙
Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to let me know you enjoy my CZcams channel and that it has helped you. Also, thank you for your kind words.

Can you please add videos focusing on peds, maternal care, and other topics related to Family Centered Nursing care before the fall semester? 😬😬 Would be greatly appreciated
My ceremony is September 21st!!
Hi there--- We love your videos -- I use them all the time for my PN class--- wondering if you had any ideas for virtual pinning -- would LOVE to have a message to my class--- thank you
I get pinned next week! Your videos highly impacted my nursing education thank you!
My pinning will be in a year and 10 weeks, but my mom's is in two weeks, so thanks for your thoughts on it!
It will be here before you know it. Thank you for watching the video and for the comment :)
accelerated BSN ends in August
Very awesome! You're almost done :)
We will have it via zoom 😭
I'll have my pinning ceremony May 10th. This past week we took a class photo of 77 nurses, where I spent most of my time, putting on almost 50 of the caps. I found a way to wear the cap without visible pins. Now I've been voted to pin all caps for the ceremony. For the pinning ceremony we will wear white scrubs and the Director of the program will pin us. We did get lucky that we did fundraising to help pay for our caps, pins and lanterns, so we only had to pay for scrubs. We will recite the hippocractic oath and a quote from Florence Nightingale and light the lanterns.
I really like how your program does the pinning ceremony. It is neat to see how programs do things differently. I really like the lighting lantern part...very symbolic with much meaning (the roots of our profession). I hope you enjoy your pinning ceremony :)
In my program, we get pinned in the first year of the program and it is put on by the graduating class. It is kind of a way for the senior students to pass on advice and wisdom. A senior student is chosen to deliver a speech that will guide us through the program and sets the stage for what kind of nurse we want to be. We also had speeches from a previous grad and a professor!
Loved my pinning ceremony and it really motivated me while going through the program. The pin is a nice reminder of what i was there for and the core values of nursing! Thanks for sharing your story :)
I love that! It is an interesting way of doing a pinning ceremony. Thank you for sharing this, Kaitlyn! Also, thank you for watching my video.
That is a really unique idea for a pinning ceremony...passing of the torch so to speak. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you I had no idea what this was 😂
VERY NICE @@@@...
Thank you for watching the video and for leaving a comment!
Could you please do a video on Immune System Disorders (Immunodeficiency, HIV and AIDS, Allergic Reactions, and Septic Shock)?
Thanks you for the suggestions. I will add them to my list :)
When did you graduate nursing school?
I graduated in 2009 with my BSN :) Thanks for watching the video!
This is a very stupid question, but id it required to attend the pinning ceremony?
I'm not quite sure....probably not required if you don't want to go. I don't think mine was...nor was the graduation ceremony.
did everyone else have to write a speech for their pinning ceremony? I have no clue what to write!
Can You pls forward your Neuro obs video
Here are all my lectures so you can browse through them: czcams.com/play/PLQrdx7rRsKfWwTsEG3KPPQx9rWa8AqMIk.html
Mine will be December 2017 if I make it 😂😂😂😭😭😭
Hello Mariah :) It is awesome to see you on here again. You've been following my channel for awhile now and it is awesome to see you are almost done. December will be here before you know it!
Hi Sarah, I just wanted to let you know that I am a student in an LPN school in Virginia. We have a great class and we are all really good friends.I've been wanting to write to you, to let you know how much help you have been and will continue to be to our class as we go through this journey. When we were studying the blood flow of the heart you made it so easy for me to understand, that I had to send a text to all the students to tell them how helpful your video was to me and tell them about RegisterednurseRN.com! Next class several people thanked me for texting them that information and how much your videos helped them as well! You really do explain things so well, you are a huge help to our class. Thank you SO MUCH
Sincerely,
Linda Rouse
Hello Linda :) Thank you so much for taking the time to write me such a kind comment. It is so awesome that my videos are helping you and your classmates. THANK YOU for sharing my videos with them. I hope my videos can continue to help you all through your journey and up to NCLEX.

I'm honored to be helping you all out. Please tell everyone I said "hello"!
Meh, I’ll be skipping mine. Passing the NCLEX and getting my license is all I’m interested in.
Dont be so sour!
I will not be going to mine.
It is awesome to see you back on here...missed getting your comments. I'm glad to see you are almost done with your program :)
