POPLARVILLE – Pearl River Community College presented pins Monday, May 9, to 44 graduates of the associate degree nursing program.
The traditional ceremony was held at the Brownstone Center for the Arts on the Poplarville campus.
The ceremony celebrated the end of a deliberately challenging two-year course of study, said Dr. William Lewis, PRCC president.
“At some point, all of us will need the care of a nurse,” he said. Lewis also thanked the graduates’ families and friends for supporting the students.
Twenty-one of the students were recognized for their membership in the Mississippi Organization of ADN Student Nurses.
Six of the graduates were inducted last week into the Beta Mu chapter of Alpha Delta Nu honor society.
“When I think about the kind of nurse I want to be, I think of hope, love and comfort,” Ashley Kinney of Hattiesburg said during the induction ceremony.
Also inducted into the chapter were Anna Delancey and Meagan Faggard, both of Purvis, Michael Poletti and Madelyn Werner, both of Carriere, and Meagan Whitworth of Picayune.
