Get Moving and Give Back Through Precepting

Hear stories from FNU preceptors about how they are giving back to the profession by molding our future nurse practitioners. We hope you’ll be inspired to take action and get moving now to find your role in advancing nurse practitioner care. Preceptors are truly touching more families and more lives through student hands. If you feel inspired to move your career forward and shape the future by becoming a preceptor, we’d love for you to connect with us today at frontier.edu/preceptor.

The session video will be available on this page at the scheduled date and time. In the meantime, we invite you to click here for a video from Dr. Julie Marfell, Dean of Nursing at Frontier Nursing University, to learn more about FNU’s “Stories that Inspire: A Call to Action for Nurse Practitioners” virtual event.
