Nursing student recognized

Madalyn Dobrinski of Lincolnville was among 13 members of the Bethel College nursing class of 2027 honored at a lamplighting ceremony last month. Students recited a pledge followed by a ceremony in which lamps are lit and presented to each student. The ceremony has its origin in the Crimean War, when British nurse Florence Nightingale volunteered to go to Turkey to care for the wounded soldiers.
