...your experience at Frontier Bound? I leave in August for Bound and I am so excited and a little nervous! This has been my lifelong goal...but, I put it off to raise my wonderful 14 year old son (and to care for my parents and aunt who died early deaths from cancer). So, here I go!

Barb,

I am actually a CNEP student, but our experiences are nearly identical at bound. Frontier bound integrates a nice mix of learning and bonding exercises. They really take you through the nuts and bolts of their program and make sure you understand how online learning works. You are assigned to a color group and your group will "break away" from the main group at different times to attend sessions with financial aid, meet with your program advisor, speak with the registrar, etc. You will also learn how to access and navigate the online library and meet with the librarian. There are seminars on college writing, your chosen specialty (for me that was midwifery, for you NP ), test taking, etc. There is really very little downtime, but we did find time to share a couple of bottles of wine over a campfire. :nuke:

Now, all that aside, Frontier bound is wonderful! The faculty and staff are very warm and welcoming. You will also learn so much about the wonderful history surrounding the school. I am not a big history person and you really can't help but be drawn in. I made some truly wonderful friends and I left feeling energized and ready to conquer grad school. I hope you have a great time, write and tell us about it. :D

Shannon, this is you, right? You were instrumental in me finally taking and getting an A in Statisitcs at Frontier! I have always allowed this fear to keep me from pursuing my FNP. You encouraged me and I did it! So, thank you, my friend. Leave it to a Frontier sister!

Frontier Bound was truly awesome. The bonds I made will stay with me forever. The professors are an amazing group of compassionate, highly intelligent, dedicated people. No school can compare to Frontier.
