星空传媒 recognized 20 nursing students during a pinning ceremony on Dec. 7 in the gymnasium on the college鈥檚 Sidney campus. The students were honored for completing their Associate of Applied Science Degree in Nursing (ADN), which prepares them for national licensure as a registered nurse.

Reygan Holt and Lia Madden, both of Rockford, were chosen by their fellow classmates to speak at the ceremony.

鈥淭hey say that nursing is both an art and a science, but I鈥檇 like to add a third element: survival,鈥� Holt said. 鈥淲e鈥檝e survived exams that felt like interrogations, clinical rotations that pushed us to our limits, and the constant battle between our inner voice saying, 鈥榊ou got this,鈥� and the occasional existential crisis whispering, 鈥楧o you really got this?鈥欌��

Holt spoke about what makes this nursing cohort special.

鈥淲hat I find most unique about this graduating class is their perseverance and drive,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 have never met a group of people more motivated than them. They are also some of the most empathetic and genuine people I have ever met.鈥�

Madden wrapped up the evening鈥檚 remarks.

鈥淐ongratulations, my fellow nurses 鈥� we laughed, we cried 鈥� I swore a lot 鈥� but we all came out alive, even if sometimes it felt like only barely,鈥� Madden said. 鈥淚 wish you all the very best in your careers!鈥�
