The School of Nursing at Malcolm X College celebrated another incredible Associate of Applied Science in Nursing Pinning Ceremony🎓

The President shared a powerful message with graduates: for those who were ever told they were “too old,” “too young,” didn’t have the right background, or came from the “wrong side of town” — look at them now. “Show the world who you are! Be the best you can be and make us proud!”

Dean of Nursing Tammy Scott-Brand also shared a heartfelt and humorous story about visiting her father in the hospital, where an MXC Nursing graduate recognized her and excitedly exclaimed, “You’re the Dean!” before giving her a long embrace — prompting her father to jokingly remind everyone, “Hey, I’m the patient!” 😂

As she thanked students for choosing healthcare, remaining committed to serving Chicago, and answering the call for both day and night shifts, she reminded graduates that one day, a future nursing graduate may be the one caring for them or their loved ones.

Many staff and faculty were present to show their support and celebrate with students and families. Following the ceremony, a career fair was also held to connect graduates with employment opportunities and engage them as they begin their professional journeys.

And as the President said: “Now go pass the NCLEX!” 👏🏽

Congratulations to our future nurses! #MXC #NursingPinning #FutureNurses #HealthcareHeroes
