Miss Florence Nightingale

Pioneer of modern Nursing

I solemnly pledge myself before God
And in the presence of this assembly,
To pass my life in purity,
And to practice my profession faithfully,
I will abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous,
And will not take or knowingly administer any harmful drug,
I will do all in my power to maintain,
And elevate, the standard of my profession,
And will hold in confidence,
All personal matters committed to my keeping,
And all family affairs coming to my knowledge,
In the practice of my calling,
With loyalty, I will endeavor,
To aid the physician to the welfare of,
Those committed to my care.
