Ancilla College Celebrates Nursing Graduates

Six nurses were honored on Sunday during the annual Nursing Professional Pinning Ceremony at Ancilla College.

According to Dr. Ann Fitzgerald, Director of Nursing and Health Sciences at Ancilla College, the pin the nurses receive represents the hard work, dedication, professionalism, and ministry of each graduate who identifies with Ancilla College and the profession of nursing.

The keynote speaker was a 2015 Ancilla College nursing graduate and 2015 Nursing Student of the Year Melissa Barenie. She is currently a registered nurse at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center in Plymouth.

Each newly pinned nurse received a New Testament Bible offered by the Gideons.
