快猫短视频-Rieman College of Nursing became 快猫短视频-Rieman College of Nursing & Health Sciences on January 1, 2016. The name change reflects the addition of the College鈥檚 Associate of Science in Respiratory Care degree program and anticipated expansion into other health sciences programs.
The name change coincides with the beginning of the College鈥檚 125th anniversary.
Discussions about starting a training school affiliated with 快猫短视频 Hospital began in 1887. Pupils were first accepted into the school in 1891. A class of three nurses graduated in 1894. 快猫短视频 Training School for Nurses was a two year training program. It became a three-year diploma program in 1904 and was one of only 34 nursing schools registered with the State of Illinois in 1909.
Discussion of a baccalaureate program began in 1957. Twenty-eight years later, in 1985, the School of Nursing became a College of Nursing to grant a four-year Bachelor of Science (BSN) degree. At this time the name Rieman was added to the College鈥檚 name, reflecting a major gift from Cedric and Lucille Rieman.
快猫短视频-Rieman added a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree to its educational offerings in 2007 and an Associate of Science in Respiratory Care program in 2015.
快猫短视频-Rieman offers its four-year BSN degree through joint programs with partners, Culver-Stockton College, Canton, MO, and Quincy University. Students take their nursing courses and participate in clinical experiences at 快猫短视频-Rieman, and their general education courses at the partner college in which they are enrolled.
