Note
Pin owner Lee Moldowsky, RN: Discharged from the US Army 5th M.A.S.H. unit as a 91D Operating Room Technician and pursued a nursing degree. "The only thing I recall so many year's later was that during the pinning ceremony, as one of few men entering nursing at the time, I felt in my heart that I had made the right career decision and belonged in the profession." Moldowsky is a Nurse Leader at NYU Langone Health.
Pin was photographed at the nursing pin event organized by the NYU Medical Archives at the 27th Annual Nursing Science Conference in 2024. Photo Credit: Dane Giuffre.
