Abstract
This is an oral history interview (OHI) conducted with Sister Edna, a native Southerner, who was trained to be a nurse in the early 1950s and later found herself called to the religious life of a Catholic nun. Edna’s life as a nurse and subsequently as a Catholic sister of the Daughters of Wisdom is full of historical significance as she speaks of caring for individuals from all socio-economical and racial backgrounds during times of polio epidemics and racial discrimination in the United States. Sister Edna’s story unveils the unique contributions she has made to the profession of nursing through her life of being called to care.
