 I solemnly pledge myself before God and in the presence of this assembly to
 faithfully practice my profession of nursing. I will do all in my power to make and
 maintain the highest standards and practices of my profession.
 I will hold in confidence all personal matters committed to my keeping in the
 practice of my calling. I will assist the patient care team and will devote myself to
 the welfare of my patients, my family, and my community.
 I will endeavor to fulfill my rights and privileges as a good citizen and take my share
 of the responsibility in promoting the health and welfare of the community.
 I will constantly endeavor to increase my knowledge and skills in nursing and to use
 them wisely. I will zealously seek to nurse those who are ill wherever they may be
 and whenever they are in need.
 I will be active in assisting others in safeguarding and promoting the health and
 happiness of mankind.
