FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE
An Example of Exceptional Commitment to Nursing
Florence Nightingale, generally regarded as the Founder of Modern Nursing, is an outstanding example of devotion to the cause of nursing. At a very early age, she believed she had several calls from God prompting her to commit her life to the service of others as a nurse. Some of her career achievements include serving as a nurse during the Crimean War in the mid 19th century, sanitary reform in Britain and laying the foundation for the first nursing school at a hospital in London where she worked until her death at the age of ninety.
The Florence Nightingale Pledge for Nurses
Nightingale has left behind her an enduring legacy of passion and commitment to nursing. As a token of recognition for her service, a pledge taken by all new nurses has been named after her and the International Nursing Day is celebrated on her birthday. The pledge: “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 will I endeavor to aid the physician, in his work, and devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care.”
