The ceremony reiterated values for the professional nurse and the profession ofnursing: responsibility, trustworthiness, honesty, fairness and respect of others.

Ceremonies were held in Scottsbluff, Kearney, Lincoln and Omaha.

During the ceremony, students recited an oath of professionalism and signed a pledge.

They also received the college’s patch to be worn on their uniforms.

Receptions attended by the students and their families followed the ceremonies at each location.
