The Winter 2024 issue of the FNU Quarterly Bulletin features a special 8-page section celebrating preceptors. A message from FNU Dean of Nursing, Dr. Joan Slager, CNM, DNP, FACNM, FAAN, explains why precepting is so important to Frontier students and how the experience benefits the preceptor as well. The special section also includes answers to all the frequently asked questions about precepting, survey results regarding the experience of past preceptors of FNU students, and reflections from students about the preceptors. Additional preceptor information includes the dates for FNU’s second annual Preceptor Celebration Week and a special poem from FNU alumnus Ebonique Shanks, CNM, about her preceptors.
Along with the special preceptor section, the Winter issue shares the news of two major awards recently presented to FNU from AACN and Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing, announcements regarding two key leadership positions in the Department of Family Nursing and Information Technology, and a look at the latest “Frontier Nursing University In the News” stories.
