Commemorating
Your Nurse Pinning Ceremony
“Nursing is an art: and, if it is to be
made an art, it requires an exclusive
devotion, as hard a preparation as any
painter’s or sculptor’s work: For what is
the having to do with dead canvas or
cold marble, compared with having to
do with the living body, the temple of
God’s spirit? It is one of the fine arts:
I once said, the finest of fine arts.”
~ Florence Nightingale 1868
Now that the torch has been passed,
and the ceremony ended;
Be proud of the oath you have taken.
Let your loyalty and devotion shine bright
and light the way for a prosperous future.
It is great to know that patients will receive
the benefit of your compassionate
and expert care.
