Access to Practical Nursing (APN) & Practical Nursing LibGuide 2025

International Council of Nurses’ Pledge

In full knowledge of the obligations I am undertaking,
I promise to care for the sick with all the skills
and understanding I possess,
without regard to race, creed, colour, 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 refraining from any action that 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 nursing ethics,
and to uphold the integrity of the professional nurse.
