I'm the Co-President for our SNA here at American River College in Sacramento, CA. I'm trying to research what each School of Nursing has the students wear for their Pinning Ceremony and how much you have to pay for it. What do you guys wear to your pinning? Right now we wear our clinical scrubs to pinning. The same ones we've been in clinical in for the past 2 years. :-/ We are trying to change that but need to do a bit of research.
I'd love it if some recent grads from any Northern California nursing schools could respond! :) Sacramento City College, Sierra College, Delta Community College, Yuba College, De Anza College, Cabrillo College, Chabot College, Sacramento State, Chico State, Stanislaus State... we would love to get your input! Thanks!
I graduate in December. We have a pinning ceremony that's separate from the general college graduation ceremony.
I'm pretty sure we just wear nice clothing under our white lab coats (which most of us purchased in first semester and have NEVER worn) for the pinning.
I am so happy to be done, I'll wear whatever. Seriously--tutu, white dress with nursing cap, jeans and sneakers. Whatever. Just let me know what needs to be worn, and I'll wear it! I've had a fantastic nursing school experience, but I will be happy to move on from the land of exams and care plans!
We finished tonight and we were having this discussion since we have to wait for the class that comes behind us, who we're not friends with but a few of them, and they don't finish until May, so out pinning won't be until June and graduation ceremony late June. I love the tu-tu idea!

I wore a dress to my pinning; the dress code was business attire, more like going on a job interview dress code.
