A pinning ceremony marks a significant milestone in the journey of nursing students as they celebrate their graduation.
At the Rasmussen College Mankato campus in Minnesota, approximately 35 students gathered to receive their pins during the ceremony.
Each graduate selected a specific individual to present them with their pin, signifying the culmination of their nursing education and the beginning of their professional careers.
One of the graduates, Penny Pearson, aged 50, had anticipated her husband to present her with her pin during the ceremony. However, a heartwarming surprise awaited her.
Despite Sergeant Dustin, Penny’s son, being stationed abroad in Kuwait for the past year, he had secretly arranged to attend the event. But little did Penny know, her son had orchestrated a touching moment that would leave her utterly stunned.
As Penny is called up to receive her pin, a wave of emotion overcomes her, and tears stream down her face as the audience cheers her on with overwhelming support.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the school for orchestrating such a memorable and touching occasion.
