What U.S. Cadet Nurses promised....

Each U.S. Cadet Nurse swore to the following:

At this moment of my induction into the United States Cadet Nurse Corps of the United States Public Health Service: 

I am solemnly aware of the obligations I assume toward my country and toward my chosen profession;

I will follow faithfully the teachings of my instructors and the guidance of the physicians with whom I work;

I will hold in trust the finest traditions of nursing and the spirit of the Corps;

I will keep my body strong, my mind alert, and my heart steadfast;

I will be kind, tolerant, and understanding;

Above all, I will dedicate myself now and forever to the triumph of life over death.

As a Cadet Nurse, I pledge to my country my service in essential nursing for the duration of the war.
