Commonwealth University–Bloomsburg’s School of Nursing held its annual pinning ceremony on Saturday, May 6, at the Haas Center for the Arts, Mitrani Hall.

In total, 139 nursing students from the Class of 2023 received their pins to celebrate their accomplishments as well as look forward to their future as professional nurses.

Dr. Jessica Bower, chairperson of the School of Nursing, gave remarks and presented the students with their pins, while remarks also were offered by Dr. Diana Rogers-Adkinson, provost and senior vice president for academic affairs; Dr. Leo-Felix Jurado, dean, College of Health Professions; and Dr. Kimberly Olszewski, senior associate dean, School of Nursing.

The distinctive nursing pin of Bloomsburg nursing was designed by the students of the class of 1979, the first graduates of the nursing program. The first part of the pin is its colors, maroon and gold, which represent the colors of Bloomsburg University. The second part is the Nightingale flame, which signifies enlightenment, new knowledge, and new experiences. The final part is the inscription “QUALITAE DEDICAT,” which means dedicated to quality. These three parts of the nursing pin symbolize the accomplishments of Bloomsburg nursing students, and signifies achievement, dedication, and commitment to nursing.
