SimIQ Makes Simulations Available to More FNU Students
The value of conducting simulated patient encounters in clinical education extends well beyond the individual student involved in the simulation. Students learn not only from their own simulations but also by observing their classmates’ experiences. In Frontier Nursing University’s (FNU) Learning Center, the simulation rooms are designed to look like the actual spaces in which the practitioner-patient interactions occur to create a realistic environment for practicing patient encounters.
The Importance of Precepting
The importance of preceptor has never been more evident. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought greater awareness of our nation’s shortage of healthcare providers. FNU students are primed and ready to help fill these gaps, but they must have clinical hours to complete their course requirements and gain the real-world experience they need to excel.
FNU Students Earn Honor Society Scholarships
Each fall, Frontier Nursing University’s (FNU) Chi Pi Chapter of the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing (STTI) awards several students with financial scholarships.

This year, three nurse practitioner students received the scholarship, including Jazmin Townes, Joanna Wilder, and Sarah Logan. Congratulations to FNU’s Fall 2021 Chi Pi scholarship recipients!
