Thank you so much for your interest in becoming a preceptor for a Frontier student. FNU provides advanced nursing and midwifery education for nurses who seek to become certified nurse-midwives (CNM), family nurse practitioners (FNP), psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNP), or women’s health care nurse practitioners (WHCNP). Our online FNP program is ranked #3 in the country by U.S. News & World Report.

FNU offers a community-based distance graduate program leading to a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN), a Post-Graduate Certificate (PGC) or a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). Preceptors are an integral part of the educational experience for FNU student practitioners, but also for promoting the nursing profession.  Many of our preceptors value the opportunity to enhance their own skills and knowledge through precepting students.

At FNU, we value our clinical preceptors, so we ensure that every preceptor is offered educational resources to support you in your role as a clinical educator. Because we value your time and expertise, we offer an honorarium for precepting after the student finishes his/her clinical practicum.

• Help expand access to quality, compassionate care to diverse, rural and underserved populations
• Earn an honorarium based on the percentage of time spent precepting students
