FNU Alumni Maintaining a Culture of Caring During Crisis

With more than 8,000 FNU nurse-midwife and nurse practitioner graduates serving our communities, many FNU alumni and students are on the frontlines in the battle against COVID-19. Their skilled service, expertise and remarkable dedication is vital in the care and treatment of patients across the country. We are grateful for the invaluable work they are doing every day and incredibly proud of each and every one of them!

"We quickly adapted to offering and completing TeleMedicine visits, which has been a great way to bridge the gap for many patients, and we are still able to provide triage and medical guidance over the phone."

“Pregnant women carry a significantly higher risk of complications when exposed to respiratory viruses, and I wanted to help decrease that risk in any way possible."

“While I was attending Frontier Nursing University to become a nurse practitioner, I made an oath to always ‘answer the call’ within my community.”

“I think FNU students and alumni are called to serve and COVID-19 is no exception. We serve our communities. We take care of patients in need. We advocate for people without a voice. Hopefully, that never changes.”

“How do we help our patients and each other adjust to a new way of normal in our country? In moving forward, we need to come together and prepare ourselves with the fact that life may be different for a significant amount of time.”

“We are doing home visits because it is easier to isolate and wipe down our equipment between homes. This also keeps our clients from congregating in the waiting room.”

“I am a CNM and RN in Gunnison, Colo., a small town in Western Colorado that is one of the COVID-19 hotspots (last I checked we were number six, just below places in New York and Louisiana).”

“We are responding to many patient concerns about keeping their pregnancies healthy and safe, and we are having to be creative in getting patients the care they need.”

“At the time I was let go, New York and New Jersey were — and still are — hot spots of the pandemic. They were desperately seeking RNs to help so I started looking at travel nursing assignments in those areas.”

“Frontier cultivated a resilience to press on even when daunting tasks are flung in the path such as this pandemic. FNU taught me to be open to change, to think with a big picture view, and to ask the tough questions to make successful transformations in how we approach and care for our communities.”
