Frontier Nursing University preceptors carry forward our mission and play a significant role in shaping the dedicated nurse-midwives and nurse practitioners of tomorrow. To celebrate their invaluable contributions, our students nominate a preceptor to be recognized as the “featured preceptor of the term”. Here are six exceptional preceptors we’ve featured over the past year.
Graduate Connie Becker supports Frontier through planned giving
August is National “Make-a-Will” Month, a perfect opportunity to update your current will or to create one if you haven’t done so already. As a crucial estate-planning tool, a will simplifies the process of transferring assets to not only loved ones, but also charitable causes and institutions that matter to you. For Connie Becker, CNM, FNU is one of those cherished institutions. A Frontier graduate, Becker was with the Frontier Nursing Service from 1971 to 1973. Her experience included four months in the second class of the Family Nurse Practitioner program and eight months in the Certified Nurse-Midwife course.
Celebrating Frontier Nursing University Preceptors
This Preceptor Celebration Week (August 12-16, 2024), Frontier Nursing University proudly honors the exceptional preceptors who play an essential role in the journey of our students. At Frontier, we are proud to work with nearly 4,000 preceptors nationwide each year. Among the many dedicated preceptors in the FNU community, three outstanding nurse practitioners won Frontier’s preceptor contest this summer for their unwavering commitment to midwifery and nurse practitioner education and their positive impact on students.
Alumni Spotlight: ‘A true labor of love,’ Tammie McDonald-Brouwer opens her own clinic in Virginia
Since graduating from FNU in 2009, Tammie McDonald-Brouwer, CNM, WHNP, has spent the last 15 years compassionately serving the healthcare needs of women in her community. McDonald-Brouwer earned her MSN in Nurse-Midwifery and her Women’s Health Care Nurse Practitioner Post-Graduate Certificate from FNU.

Dr. Susan Stone discusses maternal mortality in FNU’s home state of Kentucky
With the maternal mortality rate on the rise in the United States, it’s important to raise awareness at the community level and discuss possible solutions. Dr. Susan Stone, President Emerita, Distinguished Chair of Midwifery and Nursing at Frontier Nursing University, recently facilitated a conversation on this topic in Versailles, Ky., home to FNU’s campus, at the Woodford County Chamber of Commerce’s Health + Wellness Roundtable.
Legacy Gift Supports FNU Student Scholarships
Kitty Ernst, a legendary figure at Frontier Nursing University, passed away in December 2021. It is fitting that Kitty decided to provide legacy support for FNU students through a gift made through her last will and testament. Her final gift to FNU was devoted to scholarship support for FNU students. Kitty’s vision for the future of Frontier lasted well beyond her lifetime and ours. She could foresee the important role that FNU would play in our nation’s health care for decades to come.
Student Spotlight: Jameisha McCullough takes advantage of FNU’s POMP program to attend Annual Rural Health Conference
While Jameisha McCullough, RN, BSN, is busy pursuing a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) in Frontier Nursing University’s Family Nurse Practitioner program, she is also an active participant in the Professional Organizational Mentoring Program (POMP). This initiative pairs FNU faculty with nurse practitioner and nurse-midwifery students from underrepresented groups, offering crucial support and mentorship. Through POMP, students can join a professional organization in their field and attend that organization’s professional conference with their mentor(s), with all associated fees covered. Recently, McCullough had the opportunity to participate in the National Rural Health Association’s Annual Rural Health Conference in New Orleans.
Dr. Francis Aho receives 2024 Distinguished Service to Society Award
Sometimes, we wind up exactly where we are meant to be in life. For Dr. Francis Aho, DNP (Class 37), CNM, that place has been with Africa Mission Services (AMS) in Kenya since 2008. On June 21, 2024, she plans to open the Africa Mission Services Women’s Health Center, an 11,000-square-foot building that will include both inpatient and outpatient services, as well as a labor and delivery wing. The birth center will provide an extremely rural and underserved population with vital services that were previously administered as a small component of the AMS Community Health Clinic, which serves the Maasai tribe of the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya.
