The University of Northwestern School of Nursing has carefully and strategically placed professional events and ceremonies throughout the nursing program.. Professional events serve as opportunities to foster professional growth and development of the nursing students. While the Blessing and Pinning Ceremonies showcase the School of Nursing with its faculty, staff, and students, the ceremonies are considered very sacred events, where students are dedicated and committed to the Lord, as they further prepare for ministry and service. Events *Policy effective Summer 2019, cohorts 11 and beyond. Each cohort will encounter the events as outlined on the SON calendar. All students are required to help with preparations, attend and fully participate in SON events as academic calendars permit. ProjectConcert documentation will serve as a representation of student participation in these events. The student is responsible for documenting participation at these events into ProjectConcert, with verification given to the Course Coordinator in NUR 4316 Service Leadership and Management. Students will be required to demonstrate participation at a minimum of ten (10) events prior to Term 4. Students who do not meet the required minimum of ten (10) events will have to do an additional assignment in the leadership course, equivalent to hours/events missed. Assignment requirements are reflected in the leadership course syllabus. Certificates can be obtained by meeting the event requirements for the following SON events and ceremonies:
