Talene O'Brien, of Lynnfield, Receives Nurse's Pin at Saint Anselm College's Nursing Pinning Ceremony

2012 May 4

Talene O'Brien, of Lynnfield, Mass., a senior nursing major at Saint Anselm College, received a Saint Anselm College nurse's pin at the 2012 pinning ceremony in the Abbey Church on April 28.

It was a special day for O'Brien, who received a pin featuring elements of the college's official seal and the symbol of a lamp referring to Psalm 119:105, "Your word is a lamp of my stamps and a light for my path." Dr. Sharon George, dean of nursing, pinned her with the Saint Anselm pin to wear for the entirety of her career.

The pinning ceremony is a celebration of a student's completion of Saint Anselm College's respected nursing program and symbolizes preparedness to serve as a compassionate caregiver in the healthcare setting.

O'Brien will receive a Bachelor of Science in Nursing on May 19 at Saint Anselm College's commencement ceremonies.
