Future nurses honored at induction ceremony

Thursday, August 16, 2018

KOKOMO, Ind. — More than 50 future nurses celebrated acceptance into Indiana University Kokomo’s prestigious School of Nursing, at its annual induction ceremony.

Dean Susan Hendricks said the ceremony celebrates their accomplishment, and marks the beginning of their nursing education.

It’s a point of pride for their families, because these students have worked hard to get into nursing school,” she said. “Their families are proud of them, and we are too. We want them to feel welcomed, and acknowledge the value of the effort they’ve made to be admitted.”

It’s also a rite of passage, similar to capping ceremonies held in years past, when nurses still wore white uniforms and caps, as well as a reminder of their purpose as they enter the health care field.

It impresses on them how serious what they are doing is, so they understand what it means to take care of other human beings,” Hendricks said.

Faculty honored the achievements of the 51 students with presentation of certificates, and the class recited the Nightingale Pledge, a statement of the ethics and principles of the nursing profession, named for Florence Nightingale.
