AMERICAN SENTINEL UNIVERSITY | 2015 Page 9 THE NURSING PIN: A SYMBOL OF SERVICE The earliest ancestor of the pin dates back to the Maltese, adopted by crusaders and worn on their habits as a symbol of service to Christianity. Over the centuries, variations of the crusader’s symbol were gradually modified and became family coats of arms, often symbolizing service to a ruler. By the Renaissance, guilds had adopted coats of arms symbolizing masterful service to the community. The most recent usage of the pin is the hospital badge of 100 years ago. It was given by the hospital school of nursing to the students to identify them as nurses who were educated to serve the health needs of society. This symbol of service involves many professional rights and responsibilities. They are traditionally presented to the recently graduated nurses by the faculty at a pinning ceremony as a symbolic welcome into the nursing profession. ACCOUNTABILITY: American Sentinel believes its graduates set the standards of practice. Nurses are held accountable to the public and are expected to meet legislative requirements and standards of the profession. Nurses are accountable for their decisions, actions and consequences of those actions. We expect our nursing graduates to accept responsibility and account for his or her actions. CITIZENSHIP: American Sentinel believes that as the nursing profession becomes more complex there are inequities in health within and across nations that demand nursing students to examine the interconnectedness between local and global health challenges. We believe our students will contribute and implement solutions to these challenges. SCHOLARSHIP: American Sentinel believes that one never stops learning. Our nursing graduates carry with them the skills and training needed for them to succeed in their profession; however, our graduates’ multidisciplinary approach to learning continues henceforth. From being in the field to building a relationship with a patient, nurses obtain continual methods, disciplines and attainments of knowledge. LEADERSHIP: American Sentinel believes its nursing graduates will continue to endure a process of social influence, in which they can enlist the aid and support of others. Our graduates have the innate ability to organize a group of people to achieve a common goal by guiding and directing them to success. Page 10 AMERICAN SENTINEL UNIVERSITY | 2015 ACADEMIC HOODS Academic regalia in the United States, also known as the gown, hood and cap that are used in graduation ceremonies, have been influenced by the academic dress traditions of Europe. This includes a long flowing gown, usually black, and sleeves that are indicative of the degree obtained. Master’s-level sleeves have pointed cuffs, while doctoral level sleeves have three velvet black trim stripes. There is a code that is supposed to be followed by all institutions of higher learning, which sets out a detailed uniform scheme of academic regalia that is particular to each university. Within this code, an academic hood’s color and size represent the type and subject of degree earned, as well as the institution that awards the degree. Here at American Sentinel University the official school colors are blue and black. For nursing, the hood color is apricot. Each hood will have the custom blue and apricot coloring indicative of the degree earned and the degree-granting institution. The hoods have several components, which are as follows: SHELL: The shell material of the hood typically matches the robe. This is traditionally black. INTERIOR LINING: Typically satin, the interior indicates the colors of the institution from which the graduate received the degree. TRIM: The outer edge of the cowl, or the portion one would put over one’s head if wearing it as an actual hood, is trimmed in velvet or velveteen. The width for doctoral hoods is around five inches, slightly larger than a master’s hood, which is roughly three inches. The color of the velvet/ velveteen hood trimming is distinctive of the academic field, in this case, apricot. LENGTH: Doctoral hoods have “panels” at the sides of the hood that lie cape-like across the back. Master’s hoods do not have the large panel, but instead have smaller panels and dimensions, somewhat shorter than the doctoral hood. Both hoods are held in place with buttons and clasps, intended to allow twisting of the hood.
