May I suggest that more information is added to get this article in context. I think it may be a US thing so perhaps that can be verified to start with. --Vincej 09:11, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not just nurses?

[edit]

I may be wrong, but don't other groups having pinning ceremonies, like the Navy? BethEnd (talk) 03:48, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can attest to the fact that it's not an uniquely American ritual - a family member is a recent graduate of a Canadian nursing program and is about to undergo the pinning ceremony. Cruise332 (talk) 16:57, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Historic image

[edit]

@Michael Barera: you may want to use this image from my article about Schwester Selma: File:PikiWiki Israel 4817 Shaare Zedek Hospital (cropped).jpg. (I need to learn how to crop off the border. -- I did it!) Yoninah (talk) 17:55, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Great suggestion, Yoninah! I just added it in the "History" section. Thanks so much! Michael Barera (talk) 00:01, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Other pinning ceremonies

[edit]

@Michael Barera: As mentioned in a previous post, nurses are not the only ones with pinning ceremonies. I added a Commons category which shows members of the armed forces being pinned. I suggest you add a new section at the end called "Other uses" and mention these military pinning ceremonies, with a cite. Yoninah (talk) 00:08, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: I think it would make more sense to move this article to "pinning ceremony (nursing)" and create a separate article for "pinning ceremony (military)". Michael Barera (talk) 03:39, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Michael Barera: OK. But the page is about to go live on the main page. Let's wait another 12 hours and then move the page. Yoninah (talk) 10:43, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds like a plan, Yoninah. Let's do that. Michael Barera (talk) 14:29, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
