91ԭƬ Nursing Grads Recognized for Classroom Work and Clinicals

Four 91ԭƬ Rolla nursing graduates were recognized for outstanding work in clinicals and in the classroom.

Lauren Pilkington, Tiffany Rademacher, Leslie Crabtree and Carli Nesheim each were recognized Dec. 13 during a pinning ceremony for LPN to RN Bridge graduates.

There were 16 nursing graduates taking part in the pinning ceremony, which is held to recognize Licensed Practical Nurses who continue their education to become Registered Nurses.

91ԭƬ Outstanding Student Nurse

Lauren Pilkington received the 91ԭƬ Outstanding Student Nurse award. Pilkington is an excellent student in the classroom and clinical arena.

To be considered for the Outstanding Nursing Student award, 91ԭƬ has had to make a difference in the life of the student.

For the Outstanding Student Nurse award recipients, had 91ԭƬ not been in their community, they most likely would not have realized the dream of becoming a registered nurse.
