(This entry was likely written February 16, 2016. I just found it in my drafts. Background: the “Babylon” episode of The X-Files reboot made my blood boil with a depiction of an ICU nurse that tried to take a patient/terror suspect off of life support. lol)
Being a #nurse means caring for your patient NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE or WHAT THEY’VE DONE #thexfiles

Seriously, @thexfiles, I’m kind of irritated over the portrayal of that nurse…

#nursing is a HIGHLY RESPECTED PROFESSION. Also, where was her #nurse stethoscope? @thexfiles

The Florence Nightingale Pledge
This modified “Hippocratic Oath” was composed in 1893 by Mrs. Lystra E. Gretter and a Committee for the Farrand Training School for Nurses, Detroit, Michigan. It was called the Florence Nightingale Pledge as a token of esteem for the founder of modern nursing.
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.
