to go or not go to pinning ceremony?

[LuvPedsNrsg]

I am debating whether or not to attend the pinning ceremony. At first it was going to be a faculty member pin us...then some girls in our class argued in front of the class with the pinning committee because they wanted to choose who pins them. So now we have to choose someone to pin us. Well, problem is...I am not close to my family at all. They have not supported me and have created major stress during the program. I asked my preceptor to pin me, but she may have to work that day. I could have my boyfriend pin me, but I'm not sure if I want to (sounds bad right lol, but its not).

I guess I am just venting, but to any of you who did not attend yours do you regret not going?

Hello,

I'm just curious if anyones school does the old school nursing grad photos with the white cap, rose, pin ect..? I know some schools still do this as the one I started out at did the traditional grad nurse photos, but the school I transfered to did not do them. We just got regular grad photos from the commencement. I really like the traditional style grad photos and wish our school still did them..lol (not that I would want to dress that way on the floors), but I think they make nice grad photos!
