Last Wednesday, College of Nursing students processed into the Millennium Student Center Century Rooms at the University of Missouri–St. Louis for the graduation awards and pinning ceremony. The program recognized the accomplishments of August PhD, DNP and BSN graduates as well as those earning post-graduate certificates and symbolically welcomed them into the nursing profession. The evening ended with all the new graduates reciting the Nurses’ Pledge as their instructors, friends and family cheered them on.
