USF Nursing Alumni Making a Lifelong Pledge of Professionalism At the USF Nursing Pinning Ceremony featuring the Path of Light, graduating baccalaureate nursing students move through a lighted path, led by their nursing mentors and College of Nursing alumni, to ceremoniously receive their nursing pin, marking the transition from student to professional nurse. The lighted candles signify their pledge taken in the tradition of Florence Nightingale, the “Lady with the Lamp.� This ceremony takes place three times a year; in May, August and December. The USF Nursing Pinning Ceremony featuring the Alumni Path of Light is a chance to recognize the accomplishments of the graduating students, as well as the faculty and alumni who mentored them.
