Published

Is anyone else going to St. Joes this fall or anyone have any information about the program, what worked, what didn't?

do you have to buy your own books or does financial aid cover them? Also where are all the classes held? I am applying for the Nursing program and i would like your honest opinion of the program for someone my age 46. I have taken all my pre-req's at CCRI and applied to there Nursing program 3 times and i am getting discouraged so i am going to apply to St. Joes. I would like yo know how the classes go where they are taken and is it just a diploma? Do you have a job opportunity there? Could you offer me any information on the program and what you have to pay out of pocket and about uniforms?

I know this thread is old at this point, but was hoping maybe things haven't changed much! I was just accepted for fall 2017 start- what is the uniform policy like for school? Do you have to purchase uniform through them or do they tell you a certain "color" to wear?

Hi! I graduated in 2015 and as far as I know things haven't changed much. For the uniforms they give you specific brand (Landau) and style number and color (royal blue) and you have to go to Alexanders uniforms in Warwick because they sew a school patch onto your uniform. I do know that a couple of people (myself included) purchased pants that were the right color and brand but a different style number simply because neither of the style numbers the school have came in tall sizes. No one ever said anything about me having different pants. No one ever got different tops though because your tops that you wear to clinical have to have the school patch on them. To lecture you can pretty much wear whatever you want, though they always encouraged us to look professional (most people didn't wear like ripped jeans or tattered clothing) and for labs you can wear any scrubs if you want to or just comfortable clothing like yoga pants because they want you to be able to move around just as easily as you would in scrubs in case you have to climb up on the bed or something to be the lab "patient"
