The Murse Creed

The Murse Creed

Recognizing that I volunteered as a Murse, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of the Murses.

Acknowledging the fact that a Murse is a more elite health care provider who arrives at the cutting edge of the hospital by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Murse my country expects me to move further, faster and nurse harder than any other health care professional.

Never shall I fail my comrades (fellow Murses). I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one-hundred-percent and then some.

Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well-trained health professional. My courtesy to superior Murses, neatness of dress and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow.

Energetically will I meet the enemies of my hospital. I shall defeat them on the (sterile) field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Murse word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the (unwashed) hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country.

Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to heal on to the Murse objective and complete the mission though I be the lone survivor.

Murses Lead The Way!!!
