The Technical College of the Lowcountry recognized 11 associate degree nursing (ADN) graduates during its Dec. 9 pinning ceremony at the Beaufort Mather Campus.
During the ceremony, graduates received their pins and lamps, a nod to Florence Nightingale who carried a lamp to light her path as she cared for the sick and dying soldiers during the Crimean War. TCL’s two-year ADN program prepares graduates to practice as registered nurses. Students experience on-campus learning using high-tech simulation equipment and receive intense additional hands-on practice at clinical sites located throughout Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton and Colleton counties.
The graduates are Brooks Baldwin, Kimberly Beamon, Dionne Campbell, Ashley Chandler, Jaleesa McQueen, Ana Erika Mendoza, Bailey Moore, Elliana Ramirez, Rhonda Richey, Chelsea Selner and Amy Smith.
