Pinning Ceremony 2022

A Pinning Ceremony was organised on August 3 for the Class of 2022, the first batch of nursing students to receive their nursing pins at the new Academic Building on 3 Sassoon Road – the new home of the School of Nursing.

The nursing pin is a symbol of students’ accomplishments and their commitment to uphold a high standard of professionalism. Many of these students have served the community during the COVID-19 pandemic through service initiatives such as hotline services, community testing and vaccination programmes, and taking care of frail elderly patients at the Community Isolation Facilities. These high-calibre nursing students are more than competent to join our healthcare workforce and contribute their knowledge and skills to Hong Kong’s healthcare system.

The students together recited the Florence Nightingale Pledge and lit candles to underscore their commitment to upholding the ethics and principles of the nursing profession and to raising the standards and prestige of practical nursing.
