Each of us has our own reasons for why we chose a career in healthcare, but common amongst us is a shared desire to serve others. We are heartened by the mission of Frontier Nursing University to care for underserved people and provide care to all those in need. We all chose to answer the call to serve. It is not an easy road to travel, and all of us relied on the support of others – friends, family, classmates, instructors, and preceptors – to achieve our goal of becoming nurse practitioners and nurse-midwives.
Observing Black Maternal Health Week
Black Maternal Health Week is observed each year from April 11 to 17. Intentionally held during National Minority Health Month, Black Maternal Health Week was founded and is led by the Black Mamas Matter Alliance (BMMA), and is designed to build awareness, activism, and community-building to amplify the voices, perspectives and lived experiences of Black mothers and birthing people. This year, the theme for the week is “Our Bodies Belong to Us: Restoring Black Autonomy and Joy!” At FNU, we are proud of the fact that many of our graduates are currently working to address inequities in healthcare and are providing compassionate care for underserved populations.

FNU’s 2023 Nurse Educator Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Faculty Fellows
In January, Frontier Nursing University (FNU) announced the ten FNU faculty members to participate in the University’s inaugural Nurse Educator Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Fellowship program. Through this initiative, which is fully funded by FNU, the faculty members attend a 12-week DEI training. This program rejects the traditional DEI approach and uses an individualized peer education model to facilitate faculty development of knowledge and skills to engage in anti-racism education. Upon completion of the program, each fellow will then be assigned to coach other members of the FNU faculty for 12 weeks. This was a competitive process, and the application was open to all faculty at FNU.
