We honor our students' commitment to nursing by taking the opportunity to celebrate the occasions that mark their progress through our programs. We also host annual seminars and symposia that enhance education for nursing students such as Research on the Green and inter-disciplinary opportunities within the College of Nursing, Health, and Human Behavior.
BSN Commitment Ceremony
This event is held in honor of sophomore nursing students beginning the professional nursing sequence. Students receive their official Viterbo Student Nurse name badge. It is at this important ceremony that students commit to the profession of nursing and its standards of practice as they begin to care for patients in clinical practice.
BSN Pinning Ceremony
This event is held in honor of our senior nursing students to commemorate the completion of the professional nursing sequence. In the ceremony graduates are pinned with their Viterbo University School of Nursing pin.

The Viterbo University School of Nursing pin can be worn proudly on their future nursing uniforms.
