What an evening!

Last night, we held our first-ever Allied Health and Nursing Pinning Ceremony, honoring completers of the Occupational Therapy, Medical Assistant, Certified Nursing Assistant, Electrocardiogram Technician, and Phlebotomy Technician programs.

Also of note, tonight marked the first OTA class at Shawnee Community College (the program was previously under the SICCM umbrella). We also pinned our first group of EKG technicians.

One more shoutout to Mary Ann Madlock and Anniston Steinmann, who are the first to complete the Patient Care Technician program.

2026 Allied Health & Nursing Pinning Ceremony

05/10/2026

Shawnee Community College medical assistant students are one step closer to Pinning Day on Tuesday.

Recently, the students participated in mock interviews to help prepare them for the next chapter of their journey. The experience gave them an opportunity to sharpen their communication skills, build confidence, and practice for future career opportunities in the healthcare field.

We’re proud of their hard work and look forward to celebrating their accomplishments at Pinning Day this week.

Today marks the start of National Nurses Week, with today being National Nurses Day.

A quick reminder: not all heroes wear capes. The nursing program has been thriving at Shawnee Community College for more than 50 years.

Nearly 2,000 nurses have been 'pinned' at SCC since our first ceremony in 1970. We will celebrate another LPN class next week.
