Since nursing no longer has a unifed source of identification (no white hats, no white uniform dresses etc), a pin may be the only remaining vestige of our traditions. While I do not wear my nursing school pin daily, it is a reminder to me of nursing background, traditions, and honor as an nurse. I hate to see anyone give up our nursing traditions. We need to continue to honor our nursing "ancestors", and the pin is one way we have to accomplish this. Also, considering the cost we have spent to attain a nursing degree, $115 is chump change.
