104 Nursing As | face my transition from student to professional nurse, | pledge that | will practice nursing of the highest caliber; recognizing both my potential and my limitations. | will accept nursing as an independent, progressive art, in which to stand still is to go back- ward. In being both assertive and dynamic, | will become the Catalyst to foster change. Instilled with the concept of holism, | will strive to promote the highest level of wellness for each individual client. As | leave tonight, | accept these challenges, and those that will come with tomorrow. ... Written by the Class of 1979 Pledge Committee Members
