St Joseph College of Maine Reviews

I have done a few searches, but haven't found many responses (or at least newer) re: St. Joseph's nurse practitioner program. I'm considering it because it seems flexible, reasonable, and like a good opportunity from what I can tell. Please share your experiences!! Is $600/credit reasonable for an online program? I feel it's almost worth it so that I can start sooner rather than later!

Thanks in advance :)

Hey everyone... just wanted to let you all know that I started a new thread named: "St. Joseph's College of Maine FNP students" so that we could communicate a bit closer about the program itself. It is for current and new students to try to share any info/advice about the program.

Once we get started we can probably communicate via email or here about courses, etc in the program.

Check it out if you like!

I'm putting together my application essay for St Joes. It feels like the guidelines are a bit vague to me. Anyone have any helpful guidance to offer? I'd also be interested in the latest feedback from current students. I'm on W. Central NH (Lebanon area). Looking forward to keeping up with this.

Anyone planning on starting clinicals this spring? To wildmtns4me u can find the other St joe post by going to the search box at the top searching for St Joseph. Both should come up.

I should *hopefully* be starting them in August or September. I'm trying to push through the core classes now. I'm staggering my classes where I start a new one every month and finish each in 6-8 weeks. I'm ready to be done with all of these core classes. I think they should throw us an FNP course here and there to keep it interesting while doing the core :)

Yes, we just found out that they are planning on starting clinicals monthly starting in Feb. I am planning on trying for Feb. 29 to start.

Same here. I'm wondering if its enough time to get the clinical paperwork (from all parties) submitted and approved before clinicals start.

I know b/c in reality all paperwork needs to be done by mid Feb so we can be approved to start at the end of Feb. not sure it can be done.

Let me know if I'm correct on this one: Preceptors have to give reference forms to 2 masters or doctoral prepared nurses to complete (in order to determine if they would be good preceptors) before clinicals are even approved.

If that's the case, that's just silly! We're already asking a lot of them to teach/precept us for free!
