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. -Florence Nightingale Pledge

About me:
WE ARE NURSES. We work hard and diligently to maintain life and to increase the health and wellbeing of those who are ill. We are competent nurses....nurses who pay close attention to detail and who are constantly monitoring for drastic changes in variation. We exercise the precision and intelligence instilled within us to execute good judgment, intellectual reasoning, incisive instinct, and sound rationale. We are constantly on the move and never at rest. We are bombarded with an everlasting amount of responsibilities, though we manage to narrow down our tasks to one vital priority at a time. We are natural leaders, leaders in every way, voices with directives, and actions with authority. More notable than any other aspects we possess is our ability to care. We are patient, understanding, and filled with an extraordinary sense of compassion which makes us distinctively unique. We are a strong team composed of many influential MEN AND WOMEN. And together, we make a difference in other people’s lives. Above all the treatments, medical procedures, pharmacological measures, and diagnostic tests, WE ARE their number one cure. -C.P.

A scan taken at 27 weeks clearly shows the infant raising two fingers to the camera.
Such was the hilarity at Royal Preston Hospital that the sonographer asked permission of his parents, Owen senior and Kelly, to put the picture on the wall.
The 4D scan image of baby Owen Patrick Skeffington sticking his two fingers up to the camera
The couple, from Ashton, Preston, who also have three-year-old twins girls, Niamh and Erin, said they couldn't decide whether baby Owen was being rude to them or simply showing how many sisters he has.
His father Owen, 34, joked: 'Luckily, he didn't come out sticking two fingers up!'
Owen's comical antics caused great hilarity at the hospital. The sonographer carrying out the scan even asked for the couple's permission to reproduce the image and put it on the wall for other patients to see.
Kelly has since given birth to Owen at Royal Preson Hospital.
According to popular legend, the rude V-sign was a gesture of defiance first used by English and Welsh archers during the 100 Years War against F
