Congrats to the new grads!

Today, we proudly celebrated our Class of 2026 BRAND students with a Nightingale Ceremony as they prepare to begin their clinical experiences.

Historically, nursing students were welcomed into the profession with a capping ceremony. While caps are no longer a part of modern nursing attire, we continue the tradition of honoring this important milestone. Instead of caps, our students received a meaningful symbol—a pin bearing Florence Nightingale’s lamp—to wear on their white coats or scrubs.

Together, they recited the Nightingale Pledge, affirming their dedication to the highest standards of academic excellence and professional integrity.

We are incredibly proud of each one of you as you take this next step in your nursing journey!
