The Nursing Archives Associates at Boston University will host author and nurse Terri Arthur for a reception and lecture on Wednesday, April 2, 2014 at 5:30 PM. Ms. Arthur will talk on her new book Fatal Decision: Edith Cavell WWI Nurse. RSVP required - 617-353-3697 After two years of research, which included visits to Belgium and the United Kingdom, Terri Arthur wrote the article The Life and Death of Edith Cavell, English Emergency Nurse Known as `The Other Nightingale,’ which was published in the Journal of Emergency Nursing in February 2006. Encouraged by the interest readers expressed in the article, Arthur followed up with this book, Fatal Decision: Edith Cavell WWI Nurse. Based on historical fact, this novel tells the story of the legendary Edith Cavell, a British Nurse whose duties as a healer clashed with the demands of a ruthless occupying regime during World War I. Born in New York, Arthur, is a long-time resident of Massachusetts and has served as a nurse in hospitals on Martha’s Vineyard, Plymouth, and Cape Cod. She is also a volunteer for the American Red Cross. In addition to her nursing, she holds a BS in Education and Biology, and an MSM in Health Business Management. Also an entrepreneur, Arthur created and manages Medical Education Systems, Inc., a business that provides continuing education to nurses, doctors, and medical personnel.
