Division of Nursing
Welcome to the McKendree University Division of Nursing. We are proud of our nursing
programs. We have locations throughout Illinois and Kentucky, as well as e-learning
course options. Graduates from the McKendree University nursing program excel in oral
and written communication skills, as well as gain an in-depth knowledge regarding
current nursing practice.
The Division of Nursing has two programs:
• Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Completion Program
• Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) Program
The BSN completion program builds on the Associate/Diploma education. The MSN program
has two tracks to choose from, a Nurse Educator track and a Nurse Manager/Administration
track. The Nurse Educator track is designed for nurses who desire to teach nurses
or patients within the clinical setting. The Nurse Management/Administration track
is designed for those nurses seeking a leadership position in the field of nursing.
The McKendree Nursing faculty and staff are committed to assisting our nursing students.
Please feel free to contact us for more information. We look forward to meeting you.
Not only am I the chair of the division of nursing, I also teach in the program, and
I am proud to say that I am a 1993 McKendree University BSN graduate!
Sincerely,
Richelle Rennegarbe, Ph.D., R.N.

Nursing Division Mission Statement
The mission of the Nursing Division is to provide students with the knowledge and
skills needed to evolve their nursing practice. Students in the Nursing Division are
prepared to apply the philosophies, theories, research and skills from the liberal
arts, and the discipline of nursing to their own practice with a baccalaureate or
masters degree. The nursing faculty at McKendree University believes several concepts
are essential to the curriculum of the program. The concepts of individual, family
and community health; education; nursing process; diversity; professional leadership
and communication; ethics; and research-based practice are foundations of nursing
higher education at McKendree University.
