School of Nursing Pin

The nursing pin is a lovely memento graduates of the program take pride in receiving.  Circular in

pin
shape, the center of the pin is a replica of Florence Nightingale holding a lamp representing the Greek lamp of knowledge.  Ms. Nightingale is framed by a white circle with the OHSU School of Nursing name; the white circlet is associated with the values of integrity, purity and joy.  A laurel wreath provides a surrounding border symbolizing the "victor's prize" with the year of the graduation inscribed at the base of the wreath.  Graduates also have the option to have their initials inscribed on the back of the pin, which creates a long-lasting and memorable keepsake.

Each and every one of our graduates has worked hard, overcome obstacles and believes the "victor's prize" well deserved.  There is little doubt that the symbolism involved in the pins design is appropriate to the graduates' experiences as students in the School of Nursing.

Please complete the Baccalaureate Nursing Pin Order form by the March deadline and return to Klein Jewelers if you are interested in purchasing a Nursing pin. Prices and deadlines for the nursing pin are set each fall. As each pin is custom made, orders submitted after the deadline may not be filled prior to the pinning ceremony.
