In death, nurses take care of one another. Karen Eggleston considers it an honor to serve as a volunteer member of the Elkhart General Nursing Honor Guard. Their role is to pay tribute to fellow nurses by performing a ceremony at their funeral or memorial service. “Being a nurse and helping others are such a privilege, and the honor guard combines both those passions to assist families in the community who have lost a beloved nurse of their own,” said Eggleston, an Elkhart General registered nurse in the Regional Center for Joint Replacement. The ceremonies are both emotional and poignant. Three to four nurses will attend the funeral dressed head to toe in white. They wear traditional white uniforms, some wearing blue capes, and silently stand or “keep watch” at the nurse’s casket. On a nearby table, the nurses display a blue cape and white cap, and set out a white bible, lamp and framed note that reads: “Please respect the silence of the Nursing Honor Guard as we pay tribute to your loved one and their chosen profession.” Since the inception of the Elkhart Chapter in 2017, ...

This pledge is often recited at graduation/pinning ceremonies for nurses. It is also often included in programs honoring nurses during Nurses Week (May 6-12 each year) or on Nurses Day (May 6 each year). May 12 is the anniversary of the birth date of Florence Nightingale. • MAIN MENU • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • RESOURCES • • • • • • A...

An oath is a pledge or promise that is often legally binding and done in front of witnesses. It is one's faithful affirmation to fulfill a sworn statement. Many medical and healthcare professionals may have taken an oath during their graduation ceremonies. Though these pledges are not legally binding, they are done instead to guide them in their future behaviors as medical professionals. So, do nurses take an oath? Nurses are at the center of critical patient care, and they play a vital part in the healthcare system. Do nurses take an oath as they play this crucial role in the healthcare system? A nurse's role is also relevant in coordinating the multiple functions of the healthcare team. Dedication and commitment to their profession are required from them. To answer the question, do nurses take an oath? Nurses are challenged and assigned to give the best care with or without an oath. Thus, a nurse must ensure a patients' health, well-being, and improved outcomes. Nurses take responsibility for their patients' health while being guided by their own set of morals and principles. Still, it would seem necessary for them to take an oath and follow a set of ethical codes. These commitments or pledges are still relevant for nurses and other healthcare professionals as it binds them to protect their patients' health at all times. Hippocratic Oath The The Greek doctor wrote the Hippocratic Oath to set a creed of ethics and rules to be abided by future doctors. As early as 1750, th...

And for many that is about the extent of their knowledge. But this woman, who served as a catalyst for changing the view of health care and nursing, was more than the lady with the lamp known for tirelessly tending to injured soldiers in the dark of the night. As nurses around the globe observe the 100th anniversary of the nursing icon’s death, did you know that Florence Nightingale: • Was only 17 when she was called to become a nurse? • Rejected a marriage proposal because she felt it would interfere with her ability to follow her calling? • Was 31 when she was finally given permission to study nursing? • Invented the coxcomb or polar area chart, known today as the pie chart, a hallmark in epidemiology? • Was a leading statistician in her day – elected as the first female member of the Royal Statistical Society? “Florence Nightingale was much more, much bigger than nursing,” said Sandy Campbell, Ph.D., R.N., a professor of Nursing at St. Petersburg College who is well-schooled on Nightingale. “We claim her as the founder of modern nursing, but she was really a humanitarian, scientist, advocate, statistician, policymaker and caregiver. “We talk about her today in terms of being a historical figure and a leader, but her theories and philosophies in nursing are still being utilized today.
