Grads officially become nurses at Hudson County Community College ‘pinning’ ceremony (PHOTOS)

The candle-lighting ceremony commemorates Florence Nightingale as “lady with the lamp” and symbolizes nurses’ night rounds.

Some 66 graduates of the school’s RN Nursing Program took part in the “pinning ceremony” Thursday at the HCCC Culinary Conference Center on Newkirk Street in Jersey City.

The pinning ceremony formalizes the transition from student to nurse. The HCCC program is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing and New Jersey Board of Nursing and includes a theoretical base of general education and science courses together with a range of nursing theory and diverse practical course work that prepares graduates for the National Council of State Boards of Nursing Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses .

Last year, New Jersey selected HCCC as the first institution of higher education in the state to participate in the health care segment of the Pay It Forward Program that provides zero interest loans and non-repayable stipends.
