On a cold December Saturday, ATA Practical Nursing Students gathered for what would be a very important day in their lives.
In a room full of loved ones
They were finally “pinned” by the faculty and staff that has so much been a part of their educational journey.
The months of dedication to class time. The hours of studying. The sacrifice of time away from their families and friends.
It’s time for them to enter into the Profession of Nursing.
One chapter has closed, but the most important chapter is opening.

“A Nurse’s Prayer”
Give to my eyes, light to see those in need.
Give to my heart, compassion and understanding.
Give to my mind, knowledge and wisdom.
Give to my hands, skills and tenderness.
Give to my ears, the ability to listen.
Give to my lips, words to comfort.
Give to my spirit, the desire to share.
Give to me Lord, strength for this selfless service and enable me to bring joy to the lives of those I serve.

Best Wishes to our Nursing Students. We cannot wait to hear about the great things you are going to achieve.
