Alumni Spotlight
Alumni Spotlight
Since 1897, St. Elizabeth School of Nursing has produced thousands of graduates, each with their own unique story to tell. In an effort to share those stories, we have created an "ALumni Spotlight"
Not only do we wish to celebrate the accomplishments of alumni, but it is our hope these short stories will inspire others - be it prospective and current students, staff and alumni. Ultimately, our goal is to strengthen the sense of community among those connected to our school.
Featured Spotlight

For many, a nursing career provides a community—a community of alumni, fellow medical professionals, patients and even family who share the same career field. That couldn’t be truer for Shayna Phegley RN, BSN, MSN, FNP-C, and St. Elizabeth School of Nursing Alumna.
Shayna grew up in Rensselaer, Ind., and, inspired by her mother, went to St. Elizabeth School of Nursing and graduated in December 2010. She would later return to school and receive her Master of Science in Nursing, specializing in primary care, from Indiana Wesleyan University in 2019. She currently works for Franciscan Physician Network Rensselaer Medical Center as a primary care provider nurse practitioner.
