Nursing pin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A nursing pin is a type of badge, usually made of metal such as gold or silver, which is worn by nurses to identify the nursing school from which they were graduated. They are traditionally presented to the newly–graduated nurses by the faculty at a pinning ceremony as a symbolic welcome into the profession.
The ancestor of the nursing pin is the Maltese cross.
