Campus Immersion Experiences at FNU
request information
The experience of being a Frontier Nursing University student is unique and one you won’t find elsewhere. We offer a supportive student network, an amazing faculty and an opportunity to complete a graduate education online from your home community. One to two campus immersion experiences are part of the FNU journey, including an orientation prior to beginning studies, and intensive skill workshops prior to beginning the clinical practicum.
Frontier Bound!
Students begin their journey with an enriching three-day campus immersion experience on Frontier Nursing University’s beautiful campus in Versailles, Kentucky. Our alumni will tell you that this tradition is one of their most treasured memories as an FNU student. The Frontier Bound experience is where you meet your classmates, faculty and support staff like your academic advisor and clinical advisor. Students enjoy this time staying on the FNU campus and being pampered with healthy and delicious home-cooked meals. Time is spent learning skills needed for distance education, making lifelong friends, reviewing courses, asking questions, and planning to be a successful Frontier student after returning home.
Clinical Bound
FNU students are excited to return to Versailles, Kentucky, for this five-day skills-intensive experience. This unique, hands-on active learning experience allows students to feel validated as having acquired the skills necessary to begin their community-based clinical practicum. Clinical Bound also allows students to have face-to-face communication with their faculty members and peers. It is one of the signature events in every student’s time at FNU.
FNU’s campus features labs, simulation rooms and classrooms with state-of-the-art technology that allows for innovative ways of teaching and learning.
