Five Isothermal Community College practical nursing students were awarded their caps and pins at a special ceremony recently.
The Capping and Pinning Ceremony, held at the Rutherfordton Learning Center, is the traditional graduation event for the students in the Practical Nursing program.
The graduates of the class are Ana Nieto Perez, Kayla Hoyle, Shona Richards, McKayla Mullis and Jennifer Reyes.
The new nurses were welcomed by Ava Yamouti, Isothermal's dean of Health & Public Services. Instructors Carole Koehler, MSN RN, and Erin Maietta, BSN RN, spoke to the students to open the ceremony followed by the main speaker, Stephanie Denison. After the presentation of roses and lamps, there was a candle lighting ceremony.
