Missouri Baptist University Nursing

Wait... has it really been a month since Graduation already?

Congratulations again, Class of 2026! We're proud of each and every one of you and grateful to have been part of your journey. Here's a look back at a special day and an exciting beginning.

Every student’s journey looks a little different, but the goal is the same: to graduate ready, confident, and equipped for what comes next.

We’re proud to share a reflection from Katelyn Terry on her experience in the MSN-FNP program.

Last night, we proudly welcomed our newest ABSN students during our Inauguration Ceremony, a special evening marking the beginning of their journey into the nursing profession.

Students heard an inspiring message from keynote speaker Joan McCourt, received their nursing pin, and recited the Oath of Commitment to the Nursing Profession as they officially began this exciting chapter.

We are honored to walk alongside this cohort as they pursue their calling to care for others. Congratulations to our incoming ABSN students; your journey is just beginning!

Graduate school is challenging enough without confusion, missing content, or unclear expectations.

We believe online learning should be clear, organized, and student-centered from day one. That’s why our MSN courses are intentionally designed using nationally recognized Quality Matters (QM) standards.

✨ Two-thirds of our MSN courses are QM-certified and counting.

From consistent course layouts to clearly communicated assignments and accessible learning materials, our goal is to help students focus on learning, not on figuring out where to click next.

Your feedback will help guide future program development and opportunities within Graduate Nursing at MBU. We truly appreciate your time and input!

One week ago, we had our Pinning & Hooding Ceremony as we welcomed our newly graduated and soon-to-be graduated nurses into the nursing profession.

It was a meaningful evening filled with proud families, special traditions, and the recognition of students who are stepping into the nursing profession with compassion and purpose. We are so proud of each graduate and all they have accomplished to reach this moment.

This week is filled with celebration! Graduation week, Nurses Week, AND Teacher Appreciation Week, all happening at once! What better time to recognize and celebrate one of our own.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Robin Elaine Murray, Associate Dean of Undergraduate Nursing, on receiving the MBU Distinguished Professor Award! This honor was presented by MBU President, Dr. Keith Ross, at Commencement on Tuesday night.

Dr. Murray’s commitment to shaping future nurses is evident as she leads and mentors undergraduate faculty and students. We are so grateful for her service and leadership, and proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition during such a meaningful week for our graduates, nurses, and educators alike.
