Nurses In History: Edith Cavell

By Hedrick Lepsch


While many would not picture nurses to be recognized as heroes during wartime, Edith Cavell was just that. She was a strong women, distinction was awarded to her when she was sentenced to death after a court hearing.

Unfortunately, not having a high school diploma can come with serious side effects. Even with a GED, there are several things you will have to make up for. But it can be done! It will just take hard work, a little sacrifice, some dedication, and determination.

Her execution was widely publicized and received a lot of negative feedback. Many international individuals pleaded with the government to allow her sympathy, and excuse the crime, which she was charged with. However, she was shot by a German firing squad, but her words of "patriotism is not enough".

If you lack the above admission requirements, it might be smart to start at a community college and transfer to a 4-year college later on. Community colleges don't have near the level of admissions requirements and cost less as well.

At a community college, you will be able to gain current academic experience, build relationships with professors and/or councilors, get the feel for college-level work, and strengthen your GPA. The experiences you gain at a community college will also help you build important skills (writing, meeting deadlines, stress management, etc.) that are essential for success at a regular 4-year college.

However, if you choose to go to a community college, make sure your college of choice transfers credits to 4-year colleges. Some are not set up or do not meet requirements that allow you to transfer to other colleges. Do your research before applying to a community college and make sure they offer what you need. Academic councilors or the admissions office can answer all your questions.

Because of her work, allies were treated differently. Because of her gender and profession, she was made to be a hero. Because of her strength even in death, she was an icon. She became a symbol to rally round. She became legend because she was brave. It was written in the American Journal of Nursing that she refused a blindfold during her firing squad. She truly believed in herself and in others.

Show them that you have respect for them, that you have a genuine interest to learn and improve, and ask their advice on how you can do better. Sincerity, not brown nosing, will get you to higher places.

It was her words that make her a legend and someone worth studying. She had no hatred, no bitterness, or animosity towards others. Though she was punished for her care, she stayed true to her beliefs. She was an icon for the sheer fact that she believed in doing what was right over all-else.
