December 10, 2018 鈥� 蜜桃视频 held a pinning ceremony on Wednesday for 46 students for completion of this program. These students can now take the state certification exam and become certified nursing assistants.

Dr. Dale McInnis, president of 蜜桃视频, welcomed everyone to the pinning ceremony. 

鈥淭his is a great day to celebrate both the graduates and the family and friends here with us today. Thank you for the love and support you have provided to the students. This is a rigorous set of coursework that has put these folks not only on a new career path but also on a new life path,鈥� McInnis said. 鈥淭o our graduates, congratulations. We have students here from all walks of life, but the common denominator is that they are working to take care of people.鈥�

Nursing Department Chair Janet Sims said the is the foundation in nursing, and these students would fulfill vital roles in the medical community. 

鈥淔irst of all, let me thank the student body. I greatly appreciate that you have allowed 蜜桃视频 to be a part of your step into the nursing profession,鈥� Sims said. 鈥淚 hope as you move forward with whatever you do, you will look back and let us support you in any of your academic endeavors and know we will always be here for you.鈥�

蜜桃视频 nursing assistant students Tonya Smith of Laurel Hill and Kelsea Anderson of Hamlet served as guest speakers for the ceremony. 

Smith, who was a cosmetologist and salon owner for 20 years, said her love for helping people and dream of becoming a registered nurse started when she was a young girl.

鈥淢y passion for nursing never died throughout my career as a cosmetologist,鈥� Smith said. 鈥淚n 2013, my sister was diagnosed with cancer. While caring for my sister, I knew that helping others and being a nurse was my passion. 鈥�

Anderson, who is a wife, mother and student, said she was honored to be speaking on behalf of the class.

鈥淟ooking back from where we begin and where we are today, it is easy to say we did this by depending on each other. We learned to take care of one another through this entire program,鈥�

Anderson said. 鈥淔inding time to study between family and work hasn鈥檛 always been easy. This course has come with tears and anxiety, but we got through it. Somehow we learned to take someone else鈥檚 heartrate while ours was pounding out of our chest. Congratulations to our class; we should all be very proud.鈥�

Also speaking during the pinning ceremony was Brenda Huffman, who is an instructor for the Nursing Assistant program.
