An essential component of every student’s path at Frontier Nursing University is Clinical Bound. During Clinical Bound, students test what they have learned during their didactic studies (online coursework) through clinical simulations before they begin seeing real patients during the clinical phase of their program. Students evaluate standardized patients who follow basic scripts describing their condition or symptoms.
Personal Tragedy Inspires Holly Howell’s Commitment to Serve
Even as a child, FNU alumni Holly Howell, MSN, CNM, knew she wanted to be a nurse. It was a not-so-subtle nudge that pushed her in the right direction. “At a very young age, I have a very vivid memory of my aunt, heavily pregnant, asking me to feel her belly, and the baby made a really large movement,” Howell said. “In my head, it’s still the largest movement I’ve ever felt from a baby. I was fascinated and intrigued by it. From then on, I knew that I wanted to work in the maternal-child field. I wanted to deliver babies. It was my end goal. I’m really proud of myself that I made it, and I’m doing it.”
Get to Know FNU’s New Chief Advancement Officer Bobbi Silver
On the surface, it is natural to assume that the role of an advancement officer is to raise money. It is true that fundraising is central to the position, but at its core, it is really about connecting and building relationships. “People give to people,” Frontier Nursing University Chief Advancement Officer (CAO) Bobbi Silver said. “Yes, we need to provide important funding to our institutions, but it’s also important that we have meaningful connections with people to facilitate support for the institution in ways that they are passionate about. We want to treat people with respect and kindness and connect them to the university.” Silver, who began her role as Frontier’s Chief Advancement Officer on March 28, 2022, brings nearly 20 years of experience in fundraising and marketing.

Boston Midwife Prepares to Open Alabama’s First Birth Center
To the casual observer, opening Birth Sanctuary Gainesville might not make a lot of sense. First, Gainesville is a rural town in Alabama with a population of less than 200. Second, because of state regulations that severely restrict the scope of care nurse-midwives can provide, there are no birth centers in the entire state. That is about to change because FNU alumni Dr. Stephanie Mitchell, DNP, CNM, CPM, plans to open Birth Sanctuary Gainesville later this year. While the uncertainties are many, Mitchell insists, “It will get done.”
