The Lamp Lighting and Oath-Taking Ceremony is a significant milestone in the life of nursing students. This traditional ceremony symbolizes the start of their professional journey into the nursing field. The act of lighting the lamp, inspired by Florence Nightingale, known as the “Lady with the Lamp,” represents the light of knowledge, compassion, and commitment that nurses bring into their practice.

During the ceremony, students pledge to uphold the ethical standards, responsibilities, and dedication required in nursing. By taking this solemn oath, they affirm their dedication to providing care, support, and healing to those in need, marking the official commencement of their career in healthcare.
