The nursing pin is a replication of the Georgia College seal and bears the University colors of blue, green, & and gold. The center of the pin is gold. The University and specific nursing degree are identified with gold lettering.
In the center of the (Georgia College) seal is the Seal of the State of Georgia, indicating that Georgia College is a public institution.

a retort indicating science;

a book symbolizing the arts;

a philosopher's lamp for philosophy;

and a laurel wreath, the symbol for honor and achievement.
Near the bottom, crossing the line separating the two lower quadrants, is the year in which the University was chartered, 1889.
The seal was designed by a faculty committee composed of Dr. J. C. Bonner (chairman), Dr. Ed Dawson, and Miss Janice Hardy."
