Be courageous

COMMITTED: New nursing graduates at the lamp lighting ceremony COMMITTED: New nursing graduates at the lamp lighting ceremony

Always aspire to create meaningful change.

This was the message to graduates from Dr Nonhlanhla Makhanya, Chief Nursing Officer in the Department of Health, during a graduation ceremony for nursing graduates as well graduates in the Faculty of Business and Management Sciences.

The ceremony was the 15th of 16 ceremonies in CPUT’s Autumn Graduation Series.

“Remember, if you can imagine it, you can achieve it, if you can dream it, you can become it. However, all dreams come true if you have courage to pursue them.”

She encouraged the graduates to have courage as they venture into the world of work.

“Give all you have in the service of mankind,” she told nursing graduates.

During a badge and lamp lighting ceremony held a day prior to the graduation ceremony new nursing graduates committed themselves to the profession by taking the nurses pledge of service.

The lighting of the lamps is a tradition that goes back for centuries and symbolises the lamp that was carried by Florence Nightingale who is considered to be pioneer of modern nursing.
