NWACC Nurse Pinning Ceremony 2025 (PDF)
“Nursing is an art and if it is to be made an art, it requires an exclusive devotion, as hard a preparation, as any painter’s or sculptor’s work; for what is the having to do with dead canvas or dead marble, compared with having to do with the living body, the temple of God’s spirit? It is one of the Fine Arts; I had almost said “the finest of fine arts.” – Florence Nightingale

A MODERN NIGHTINGALE PLEDGE
I pledge myself here, before my God and in the presence of this assembly,
to practice my profession with integrity.
I will endeavor to maintain and elevate the standard of nursing,
both as a science and as an art.
I wholeheartedly recognize the importance of high standards of care
and of personal accountability.
I devote myself to the healing, protection, and welfare of those
committed to my care.
I accept a duty to work for the improvement of health in the
communities in which I live and work.
I will hold in confidence all personal matters committed to my keeping,
and will respect the privacy of medical information.
I will act with compassion in ethical matters.
I will not knowingly administer or consume any harmful substance.
I commit to interdisciplinary collaboration and lifelong learning.
I fully acknowledge the seriousness of the responsibility that I accept
in
my calling, and the significance of this pledge that I take today.
