Florence Nightingale Pledge

I solemnly pledge myself to the service of humanity and will endeavor to practice my profession with conscience and with dignity.

 

I will maintain, by all means in my power, the honor and noble tradition of my profession.

 

The total health of my patients will be my first consideration.
 

I will hold in confidence all personal matters coming to my knowledge.

 

I will not permit consideration of religion, nationality, race or social standing to intervene between my duty and my patient,

 

And I will maintain the utmost respect for human life. I make these promises solemnly, freely and upon my honor.
