international nurses pledge* International Pledge for
Nurses In full knowledge of the obligations I am undertaking, I
promise to care for the sick with all the skill and understanding I
possess, without regard to race, creed, color, politics or social
status, sparing no effort to conserve life, to alleviate suffering
and to promote health. I will respect at all times the dignity and
religious beliefs of the patients under my care, holding in
confidence all personal information entrusted to me, and refrain
from any action which might endanger life or health. I will
endeavor to keep my professional knowledge and skill at the highest
level and to give loyal support and cooperation to all members of
the health team. I will do my utmost to honor the international
code of ethics applied to nursing and to uphold the integrity of
the professional nurse.
NIGHTINGALE PLEDGE I solemnly pledge myself before God and in
the presence of this assembly to pass my life in purity and to
practise my profession faithfully. I shall abstain from whatever is
deleterious and mischievous, and shall not take or knowingly
administer any harmful drug. I shall 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. I shall be loyal to my work and devoted towards the
welfare of those committed to my care.[1][4][5]
