Frontier Nursing University’s Digital Summit dedicated to nurse-midwifery starts this weekend! From October 1-7, the “Let Our Stories Move You to Answer the Call” virtual event will explore the experiences and stories of Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) who are passionate leaders committed to better care for women and families.
