On 24 July 2025, the Student Affairs and Arts and Culture Preservation Unit of Boromarajonani College of Nursing, Chiang Mai held the academic year 2025 Wai Khru ceremony, followed by the presentation of nursing caps, cap stripes, year pins, and Nightingale lamps. Dr. Natpalin Ninpeng, Deputy Director for Student Affairs and Acting Director, presided. Students prepared ceremonial trays with incense, candles, eggplant flowers, Bermuda grass, popped rice, and ixora flowers, each carrying symbolic moral meaning. The ceremony expressed respect for teachers, allowed students to seek forgiveness, and strengthened teacher–student bonds. Second-year Bachelor of Nursing Science students then received their caps, cap stripes, pins, and lamps, marking completion of theoretical study and readiness for clinical practice with responsibility for patients. The nursing cap symbolizes entry into the nursing profession and reminds students of their professional responsibilities, society’s expectations, and the need to uphold the code of ethics as they progress toward nursing practice.
