Graduation…what a gas! It was the end to a fabulous two years at USG and a great beginning for all of us starting our nursing careers. There are lots of college graduation traditions including the hanging of scrub tops in the cafe and decorating mortarboards. A what? You know, those flat-topped hats worn during graduation. Apparently, they are called mortarboards because they resemble the tool used by bricklayers to hold mortar.

All I know is that our class overwhelmed me with their mortarboard creations for our graduation that took place on Friday, December 14. There was a lot of glitter, flowers, painting, glue-gunning, and fancy lettering going on during our Kaplan review sessions. The best way to tell you about them is to show you. And you thought nurses were just a bunch of science nerds…Enjoy!

So for the Spring 2019 Nursing graduates, see if you can top these!

Which one’s mine, you ask? All I can say is that Diana Prince would approve…
