I am from Canada and yes we had a pinning ceremony. It was very nice with food and decorations but our class had to donate money for the food as the college would not pay but nobody had to donate more than $10.00 so that was reasonable.

We also had a pinning ceremony. I still have my pin, but rarely wear it. It's a beautiful 18k gold pin it's round with the school's name around the edges and a caduceus and the school crest in the center. Loved it!

My LVN school had pinning ceremonies on a quarterly basis for each class of nursing students that passed through. Pinning ceremonies were held in January, April, July, and October.

My school had one, and I think that all LPN schools have pinning ceremonies. I didn't attend mine, though, because I just wanted to get out of there (and do not regret my decision not to go). We're nurses, too, and deserve it just as much as the RNs.

of course! it is sort of like a graduation ceremony. tickets are distributed, food is served, awards are given, pictures taken...all of that jazz. ;)
