BOCES celebrated the accomplishments of the newest graduates of the Adult Practical Nursing program with a commencement ceremony held June 21, 2024. Ten graduates make up this latest class. The ceremony was held at the BOCES Watertown, NY campus with family members and friends of the graduates in attendance. Those who could not attend the event live were able to live-stream it via www.boces.tv.
Each graduate took part in the ceremonial pinning as well as the reciting of the Florence Nightingale Pledge. It is a tradition for nursing graduates to recite the pledge as part of pinning ceremonies across the country and is named in honor of the founder of modern nursing.
The Practical Nursing program at BOCES is offered through our Adult Education Department. To learn more about Adult Practical Nursing at BOCES, visit www.boces.com/nursing
