KARACHI (Daily Times): Holding lighting candles in their hands, some 112 nursing students of second year of the Diploma in Nursing and BSc Nursing programmes took oath at the 30th Lamp Lighting Ceremony, 2011 at Aga Khan University (AKU) School of Nursing here on Friday.
Each student pledged, “In full knowledge of the obligations, I am undertaking I promise to care for the sick with all the skill 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.”
The lamp symbolises a promise to uphold the values of the nursing profession and to follow the path set by nursing pioneers, Rufayda Al Aslamiya, the first Muslim nurse, and Florence Nightingale.
AKU’s spokesperson while talking to Daily Times said the community-oriented values and high quality of education at the school had been pivotal in changing public perceptions towards the nursing profession and its role in healthcare, as well as enhancing its status on a national and regional level. In 2010, nearly 100 nursing students of second-year took the same oath to serve humanity.
