Its suspected that Shallan is on her fourth oath, that being she killed her mother. Her 2nd and 3rd oaths are unknown and appear to have been said during childhood. Killing her Father may be her third oath, but I'm not so sure because it doesn't have the same effect on her as the 4th does. 

A WoB states that at the end of WoR Shallan was one level higher than Kalladin, and Kal was on his third oath.

At a signing in Madison last year, I asked Brandon if he had the oaths all planned out.  I don’t remember word for word, but he said that not all the characters would say the oaths in the same way, that different Radiants of the same order might say their oaths differently, except the first oath.

I don’t know if that would affect your project, though.

The oaths can be said differently, but based on Teft and Kaladin, as well as the names of the Skybreaker's oaths, its likely that each oath step will be similar and represent the same idea, just in the context of the specific person. Aka Kaladin hates the king and Teft hates himself, but they'll still protect so long as its right to do so.
