Bucks County Community College celebrated the success of 72 graduates from its Associate Degree Nursing Program during the College’s 55th annual nursing pinning ceremony on May 20.
The ceremony marks the official transition from nursing student to healthcare professional.
The Class of 2026 will now prepare for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) to become licensed registered nurses.
The recent graduates achieved a 95-100 percent NCLEX pass rate, highlighting the BCCC Associate Degree Nursing Program’s tradition of excellence.
The ceremony honored a diverse group of future nurses, aged 21 to 54, with graduates representing communities across Bucks County and neighboring regions.
More than 90 percent of the class are Bucks County residents, indicating the college’s focus on strengthening the local healthcare workforce at a time of growing demand for registered nurses throughout Pennsylvania and beyond.
Each graduate received a commemorative nursing pin featuring the insignia of Bucks County Community College.
The BCCC program is approved by the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing and accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN).
The event also recognized several standout students for their dedication to patient care and academic achievement.
Sydney Doan addressed fellow graduates during the ceremony, while Jenna Hunter and Klaudia Dudzinski earned nominations for the prestigious DAISY Award at their clinical sites in recognition of outstanding compassionate care.
