More than 100 graduates from the Practical Nursing program were recognized at a pinning ceremony on Thursday, June 1 at the Algonquin Commons Theatre on the Ottawa Campus. During the ceremony, a special pin is affixed to the graduate’s clothing by a fellow practicing nurse, symbolizing their professional entrance into the nursing field.

A reception preceded the ceremony where students and their families gathered to mingle and sample various canapés on offer. Algonquin College President and CEO Claude Brulé was on hand to take part in photos with students in front of a practical nursing backdrop.
