Each honoree was presented with a Cadusa pin and confirmed their completion of the program by reciting the Nightingale Pledge, a traditional oath taken by new nurses.
The OCB Nursing Assistant program combines classroom theory with work-based learning opportunities to provide high school students with the skills needed to obtain the New York State Nurse Aide Certification and begin a career in the healthcare industry.
Students in the program gain first-hand knowledge about the nursing profession through clinical experiences in area hospitals and long-term care facilities.
