Eastman and Sinclair receive their nursing pins from UMFK

    FORT KENT — Thirty eight University of Maine-Fort Kent nursing students were honored at the Nurse Pinning Ceremony on May 9. Among those recognized were Christopher D. Eastman of Exeter and Whitney G. Sinclair of Dexter.

    The theme of the ceremony was “Nurses Leading The Way: Transforming Health Care Through Leadership.” Every day, nurses step forward embracing new technologies, resolving emerging issues, and accepting ever-changing roles in their profession. They lead the way for their patients, colleagues, organizations, and the health care industry as a whole.
    The nursing pin signifies the completion of the bachelor of science in nursing degree and also symbolizes the honor and responsibility held as a professional nurse.
