Our nursing school is getting ready to graduate its first class of ADN students. For the pinning ceremony, our class requested that we could each create a brief "thank you" that would be printed in the insert of the program and then read as we were pinned. (Initially we asked for a slideshow during the pinning that displayed our "thank you" while we were being pinned, but our school won't pay for the extra AV equipment at the ceremony.) So, in making a case to take to the administration, I was hoping to compile some info from nurses about pinning ceremonies across the nation. Did your school provide you with a forum to thank people (whether ,, spoken or on a slideshow, etc)? If so, what school did you attend? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR INPUT! I thank you in advance and so does my entire nursing class!

I attend the Breckinridge School of Nursing in Wichita, KS. I will be a member of their first graduating class in June 2013. I wanted to share a few things. Our school is actively pursuing NLN accreditation. (A school cannot be evaluated until it has graduated a class.). Also, we have recently received word that Wichita State University is going to accept our credits for their RN to BSN bridge. Plus, there are many traditional universities and colleges that have online RN to BSN and RN to MSN programs that also accept our credits. It is also my understanding that all the locations of Breckinridge School of Nursing with graduates in December 2013 had a 100% NCLEX pass rate.
