Frontier question

Published

Is it possible to do my clinical with a group of OB/midwives that deliver at the hospital that I work at as an L&D nurse?

I am trying to pick a CNM program and can not seem to find an answer to this question.

What about for University of Cincinnati?

I'm in the FNP program, not the CNM (CNEP) program at FNU, so I would double check with the admissions folks at FNU to verify. However, my program has a requirement that I not precept at the same facility I'm employed at, so I think you would be able to do so only IF you quit working there before you started your clinical practicum.

Thanks so much for the information. This is very helpful. We have several great midwives where I work that already precept for FNU.

How do you like the FNP program at frontier? I applied for cohort 139...and waiting. Any advice on program? thanks

As with any program, your specific situation may be different than mine, so I certainly think you should consider your options, however, for me I feel the FNU program was the best choice available by far. The program goes to great lengths to make sure that the students are well prepared, and works hard to monitor the clinical practicum. They have an excellent pass rate, in part because of the rigor of the program, in part because they have a prep course during the lsat term, and in part because they make you take school, learning, and the career you are entering seriously. I'm sure I'm biased towards it, but I do believe I made an excellent choice.

Good luck to you on your choice.

How is the program set up? Blackboard format?

They are just now starting the learning management system Canvas with the Spring semester. They were using Angel. I hope Canvas is better than Angel.

Never heard of either one. Hopefully they are a good plateform. How did you find this out? Any other info to share regarding program set up? Thank you!

Angel is from the same folks that made BlackBoard, they have alot in common. Yes, FNU did switch from Angel to Canvas, as Angel & Blackboard have many issues and Canvas is one of the better learning management tools available these days. The switch has gone much better than I expected, with very few glitches that I know of.
