A pinning ceremony represents a formal welcome to newly graduated nurses entering the nursing profession. The creation of the CSUSM School of Nursing was a vision that began in 2004, when Palomar Pomerado Health recognized a growing need for nurses locally.
PPH initially committed $150,000 to perform accreditation studies. In 2005, PPH committed an additional $2.5 million to build a state-of-the art nursing research and education center The Palomar Pomerado Health Education Center which now is home to the School of Nursing at CSUSM. The school saw its first students in August 2006.
Its fantastic to see the dream and plans formalize into graduates, says Judy Papenhausen, director of the school. We talk about this first class of cohorts as if they are our firstborns. Its good to see closure on this first phase of the school.
