Victoria College’s Associate Degree Nursing Program honored 41 Fall 2021 graduates during a Pinning Ceremony on Dec. 16 at Victoria College’s Leo J. Welder Center for the Performing Arts.
The graduates received their pins during the ceremony, while family and friends were in attendance and able to watch the ceremony remotely.
“We are very proud of these graduates for their commitment to complete the program despite facing unprecedented challenges,” said Darla Strother, VC dean of allied health.
Mariya Pullin of Refugio was named the class valedictorian, and Haley Charbula of Inez was announced the class salutatorian.
Victoria College’s two-year Associate of Applied Science degree in nursing is fully approved by the Texas Board of Nursing and accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing.
Successful completion of the ADN Program enables graduates to apply for the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses. Satisfactory achievement on the exam qualifies graduates for licensure as a registered nurse.
