Initiatives

At Mennonite College of Nursing we have a passion for identifying health-related needs in our communities, and then working to ideate and implement solutions for those needs. We are proud of the incredible work our faculty do and the impacts they make with intiatives like America's Promise, CAUSE, ANEW, and more.

America's Promise

America's Promise partners with local schools to provide improved access to care for children. In 2017, the America's Promise Schools Project received an Innovation in Nursing Education award from the American Association of Colleges of Nursing.

CAUSE

Working in partnership with McLean County Health Department and local outpatient facilities, we seek to prevent hospital readmission by coordinating care for chronic illness, mental health, and more.

Advanced Nursing Education Workforce (ANEW)

To improve access to care and quality of care in more remote areas of the United States, this HRSA-supported initiative prepares Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) students to practice in rural and under-served settings following graduation.

Nursing Simulation Evaluation

To advance the science of simulation, we actively conduct research to improve our student outcomes, improve our simulation program, and ultimately, impact patient outcomes.
