A Special Tribute to Kitty Ernst
Kitty Ernst was a pioneer who planted the seeds for community-based midwifery and led the development and implementation of Frontier Nursing University’s Community-based Nurse-midwifery Education Program (CNEP) program. Kitty’s life was devoted to serving others. She taught, she led, and she lifted others up. She inspired us all to pay it forward through service to the profession and to our communities.
Just as she foresaw the need for community-based advanced practice nursing, Kitty also recognized the need to assist our students. She knew that minimizing student debt would enable graduates to focus fully on their call to serve. Frontier worked with Kitty to create this endowed scholarship fund to support Frontier CNEP students.
Honor Kitty's incredible impact on FNU by contributing to the Kitty Ernst Scholarship Fund.
