Do LPN's get pinned?

[mamunsey]

I graduated in 1996, at my ceremony, I remember getting a lamp, and cap, but I remember no pin. Is this common practice for LPN's to be pinned?

Both my Mom and Aunt have pins from their LPN programs.

I have my Aunt's LPN pin. (She was also my Godmother, died post-MVA years ago.) I thought about using her pin for my pinning ceremony, as we had to provide our own. But, the pin said both LPN and the school she graduated from on it, so I decided that the emotional props (in abstenia) to her and to my Mom weren't outweighed by the time and energy I had invested to get an RN. (It would have been so cool though...)

Congratulations!!!!

My LPN class ('94) was capped halfway through then pinned and given lamps at graduation. My RN school pins, not sure about lamps. And I doubt we do caps, either.

I graduated LPN in 06' and RN 07'. Yes we got pinned. I actually like the looks of my PN pin better than my RN!
