Mount Wachusett Community College welcomed twenty-one new nurses to the profession on Tuesday, December 20, 2022, at the Theatre at the Mount.

鈥淚t is truly an honor for me to be here to help celebrate this occasion,鈥� noted President James Vander Hooven. 鈥淵ou have put in so much time, effort and dedication, both inside and outside of the classroom, in a program that requires a calling, a vocation in service of others in their greatest times of need.鈥�

鈥淭his has not been easy and may have been the hardest thing we鈥檝e ever done for ourselves,鈥� Casey Bernhardt, who was pinned by her mother Maureen, told her fellow graduates. 鈥淲e lost a lot along the way but gained so much more.鈥�

Students were welcomed into the profession by a mentor, instructor, friend, or family member fastening the program鈥檚 nursing pin to their lapel. Following their pinning, the nurses recited the Florence Nightingale Pledge.

In addition to a rigorous academic program, students participated in clinical rotations at one 亚色影库鈥檚 partners; Alliance Health at Baldwinville, Clearbrook Treatment Center, Gardner Rehabilitation & Nursing Center, Heywood Hospital MHU/GPU, Heywood Hospital LaChance Maternity Center, Life Care Center of Leominster, Stetson School, Quabbin Valley Health Care, and Seven Hills Pediatric Center.
