BCC Recognizes ADN Nursing Graduates

adn pinning

The 53rd pinning ceremony of Berkshire Community College’s Associate degree in nursing (ADN) program was celebrated Tuesday evening, May 24, in the College’s Robert Boland Theatre in the Koussevitzky Arts Center.  Susan Gazzillo, BHS Administrative Director for Cancer and Infusion Services, Berkshire Health Systems, addressed the students.

The ceremony is a time-honored nursing school tradition, dating back before the turn of the twentieth century.  Traditionally, nursing students have conducted an Honors or Pinning Ceremony to mark the passage of student nurse role to practice role.  It is a momentous event that is shared with family, friends, faculty and others important to the students’ education.
