LWC Nursing Seniors symbolically welcomed to profession From Duane Bonifer Less than 48 hours before they will receive their Lindsey Wilson College diploma, a dozen members of the Class of 2025 were symbolically welcomed into the nursing profession on Thursday night, as well as recognized for their accomplishments and achievements while studying for the profession. The Lindsey Wilson Program of Nursing Pinning and Recognition Ceremony included a long-standing tradition held all over the world in which nursing students on the cusp of receiving their degree are presented a pin, a ritual initiated in the 19th century by nursing pioneer Florence Nightingale. The Lindsey Wilson nursing seniors who received their pins during ceremony were:
After Saturday morning's commencement ceremony, Lindsey Wilson Class of 2025 nurses will have one more challenge -- sitting for the National Council Licensure Examination. Also known as the NCLEX, it is the national standardized examination for nursing licensure in the United States. Separate from a college's commencement ceremony, a pinning ceremony is a "more personal event that signifies the end of the years of toiling in nursing school and getting ready to tackle the NCLEX," said Button. 'A passion for this career' Button said this year's seniors have exhibited the qualities essential to being an effective nurse. "Most nurses work long hours in challenging conditions, and the work can be emotionally draining," said Button "In order to be a nurse, one must have tough skin and a heart filled with love for nursing." In his remarks to the nursing seniors, Lindsey Wilson Vice President for Academic Affairs Ray Lutgring reminded them that the profession of nursing is as much an art as it is a science. "I know you've learned all of the science of nursing at Lindsey Wilson," said Lutgring. "But I also hope you've learned the art. Your humanity and your empathy will be just as important." And senior Haley Cook of Russell Springs, Kentucky, said that is what she and her classmates have learned during their four years at Lindsey Wilson studying for a bachelor of science degree in nursing. "We have not only learned the science of nursing, we have learned the importance of caring, of comforting and of healing," said Cook, who received the Elizabeth Lowe Whitfield Nursing Professional Development Award, which is presented by the nursing faculty to a senior who embodies the qualities and characteristics of a professional nurse. "We have faced challenges with courage and determination, and we have demonstrated resilience in ways that would shape us into the professionals we have become today." Cook said that she and her classmates chose to enter the nursing profession because "we truly have a passion for this career" and have "a calling to serve, a desire to care and a commitment to be there for people when they need it the most." "This dream we have shared to help others, impact lives and live out our calling is finally becoming a reality," said Cook. Lindsey Wilson's 121st commencement ceremony will be held in three parts: at 6pmCT Friday, May 2, and at 10amCT and at 2pmCT Saturday, May 3, 2025, all at Biggers Sports Center, 360 Spickard Drive, Columbia, KY. It will be the final Lindsey Wilson College commencement as the school will become Lindsey Wilson University on July 1, 2025. This story was posted on 2025-05-02 17:28:59
