DIVISION OF PRE-LICENSURE NURSING PINNING CEREMONY
AP RIL 25, 2025
“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.”

A NURSE’S PRAYER FOR GOD’S BLESSINGS
Give me strength and wisdom, When others need my touch; A soothing word to speak to them, Their hearts yearn for so much. Give me joy and laughter, To lift a weary soul; Pour in me compassion, To make the broken whole. Give me gentle, healing hands, For those left in my care; A blessing to those who need me, Heed a nurse’s prayer, dear Lord.
Special thanks to Whonsetler Photography for allowing us to use their photographs as part of our program.
