The Hospital Corpsman's Pledge

I solemnly pledge myself before God and these
witnesses to practice faithfully all of my

I hold the care of the sick and injured to be a
privilege and a sacred trust and will assist
the Medical Department Officer with loyalty
and honesty.

I will not knowingly permit harm to come
to any patient.

I will not partake of nor administer any
unauthorized medication.

I will hold all personal matters pertaining
to the private lives of patients in strict
confidence.

I dedicate my heart, mind and strength to
the work before me.

I shall do all within my power to show
in myself an example of all that is
honorable and good throughout my
naval career.
