Nursing isn’t just a profession—it’s a calling. That spirit of dedication and service was celebrated recently as R.D. Anderson Applied Technology Center held its CNA Pinning Ceremony, honoring students who have completed their Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) certification.
Congratulations are in order for Sarah Reynolds, Mariah Pinkney, and Kylie Crowe, who proudly participated in the ceremony and have officially earned their CNA credentials. These students have also taken the next exciting step in their healthcare journeys by signing with Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System.
The pinning ceremony is a time-honored tradition in the nursing field, symbolizing the completion of rigorous training and the transition from student to healthcare professional. For Reynolds, Pinkney, and Crowe, it marks not only an academic achievement but a commitment to compassionate care and lifelong learning.
“We are incredibly proud of these young women,” said a representative from R.D. Anderson. “They’ve worked hard, shown tremendous heart, and are now ready to make a difference in the lives of patients and families across our community.”
Joining the Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System places these new CNAs at the heart of a respected network of hospitals and care facilities known for high standards and patient-centered service.
