As we enter a multigenerational community, we pledge to move forward and be a part of the next generation of nursing by learning from the past to make an even greater difference in the future. 

By taking this pledge, we each promise to do the following: 

• I will not make insensitive and condescending statements or participate in any other actions of incivility against my fellow colleagues, educators, or patients;
• I will not just take orders but will be empowered to fully understand them; to question when necessary, and, in doing so, remembering to be respected I must respect;
• I will not only advocate with the utmost integrity and lack of bias, but also show true compassion and beneficence on behalf of my patients, coworkers, and myself;
• I will continue to work hard to build an environment of true inclusivity and cultural humility; I will not tolerate racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or discrimination of any kind;
• I will not only be known for educating and taking care of my patients but also for educating and taking care of myself so I can be an active professional for the sake of my future patients, for the sake of my fellow colleagues, and for the sake of the future of this healthcare system.

I pledge to be a Next Generation Nurse.
