Across the United States, community colleges annually produce more than 50 percent of all new nurses and other healthcare workers. Friday night Onondaga Community College celebrated the accomplishments of 47 students who completed their Nursing degrees during this academic year by holding the annual Nurse Pinning ceremony in Storer Auditorium. The pinning ceremony is a symbolic welcoming of newly graduated students with Nursing degrees into the Nursing profession. "I want to remind all of our nurses that nursing is hard. It is also a privilege and an honor to serve those in their time of need. I promise you that for everything you put into this profession, you will get it back tenfold," said Leanne Waterman, Chair of OCC's Nursing degree program.

Congratulations to the Nursing class of 2021!
