BSN Oath Ceremony

The BSN Oath Ceremony will recognize incoming BSN-1 students who will be graduating in Spring of 2028. Students will hear from Carolina Nursing alumni, be recognized individually, and recite the School of Nursing Oath as a group. 

Guest Tickets 

The number of guest tickets each student receives will be determined by the number of students who RSVP. Each student will likely receive 3 or 4 guest tickets. The final number of guest tickets will be announced via email after the RSVP deadline. 

Students do not need a ticket for themselves. Children 3 and under who do not need their own seat, do not need a ticket. You are welcome and encouraged to share extra guest tickets with your classmates. 

Extra guest tickets may be available via random lottery after registration has closed. There will be an opportunity to indicate your interest for extra guest tickets when you submit your registration.

You will not walk across the stage during the ceremony, but be prepared to stand when your name is called. Following the ceremony, cake and water will be served in the lobby.
