WVU Tech School of Nursing to pin 22 students on Thursday
BECKLEY, WV (WVNS) — WVU Tech's School of Nursing will be holding their pinning ceremony on Thursday, May 8, 2025.

The ceremony dates back all the way to Florence Nightengale's first nursing school and signifies and honors the student's choice to pursue the path of nursing as a career.
This year, the School of Nursing has twenty-two students ready to be pinned and start the next step in their careers.
Hillary Parcell, Associate Professor at the School of Nursing, said each pinning ceremony they hold can only benefit the nursing community as a whole.
'Each year, we seem to gain a few students which is a great sign and it's just, we're producing more nurses out there to help with the nursing shortage and to help in our communities,' said Parcell.
Parcell said most students being pinned this year already have jobs lined up for after they graduate and pass their NCLEX, or the National Council Licensure Exam- the test needed to obtain a nursing license.
She said seeing these students take their next steps into the field of nursing makes her very proud.
