McKendree Nursing Educators Gain Certification
Lebanon, Ill. — McKendree University nursing instructors Dr. Martha McDonald and Sara
Bolten, RN, MSN, recently gained certification as nurse educators from the National
League of Nursing. The credential is given following successful completion of the
Certified Nurse Educator (CNE) examination.
McDonald, associate professor of nursing, coordinates McKendree’s nursing programs
in Southern Illinois. The Marion, Ill., resident recruits and mentors students in
the university’s RN-to-BSN and MSN programs throughout the region. In April, she received McKendree’s 2012 Exemplary
Teacher Award, given annually by the United Methodist Church Board of Higher Education
for excellence in teaching, concern for students and colleagues, commitment to values-centered
education, and service beyond the classroom.
Bolten, a Louisville, Ky. resident, teaches at the McKendree University campuses in
Louisville and Radcliff, Ky.
