UACCB Celebrates the Success of Registered Nursing Students at Pinning Ceremony

The University of Arkansas Community College at Batesville (UACCB) hosted a Registered Nursing Pinning Ceremony on December 5, 2023, to honor the graduating class of 2023. Eighty-six graduates were celebrated during the event for their achievements and dedication to the nursing profession.

Ms. Becky Warren, Dean of Health Professions, commended the graduates for their hard work and commitment throughout their nursing education saying, "We are proud of the registered nursing class of 2023 for completing this education journey. These students have overcome many obstacles in pursuit of this degree, and we look forward to the impact they will make in the healthcare of our region and state."

The pinning ceremony marked their transition from the academic environment to the practical aspects of nursing. UACCB's Registered Nursing Program continues to produce skilled healthcare professionals, and the Class of 2023 is expected to make a positive impact in the field of healthcare.
