The annual HFC Nursing Pinning Ceremony was celebrated May 3 at Fordson High School in Dearborn, where 81 nursing graduates earned their nursing pins with their family members in attendance.

This ceremony is a time-honored tradition symbolizing the rite of passage for nurses entering the profession. It also signifies membership in a proud and loyal society of nurses, especially since nurses are an integral part of the global healthcare workforce. The ceremony is a well-deserved tribute to all the hard work these HFC graduates invested in becoming a nurse. During the ceremony, each nurse receives a specialized pin commemorating their achievement.
