St Joseph's College of Maine FNP program students

Published

I wanted to start this thread for all of the new (and current) students at Saint Joseph's College of Maine FNP program.

Any info, news, updates or questions/concerns could be asked here for all the new and current students.

Any advice that the current students can give us new students would be greatly appreciated :)

For example...

1. How many books are required for NU 501?

2. Has setting up clinicals been difficult?

3. Have the current students had any trouble communicating with your advisors? Do they get back to you promptly?

4. Overall, how has the experience been? Are you glad you are in this program?

Thanks so much!

I have been in the program awhile. I am also from the Lebanon, NH area . My only complaint is that the advisors and 2 out of 3 professors I have had, take forever to respond to questions and are just not involved. We post our threaded discussions and noone comments nor do we have to comment on anyone else's Very frustrating. feel like I am teaching myself. Additionally my advisor and the Dean of the program went out on leave. I was never assigned to a new advisor. Thinking about a transfer to Frontier or georgetown, but they don't have the same core requirements so would lose credits and money!! Just worried about my knowledge base if I am teaching myself.

Is it just me, or did they just add more classes?

There are new FNP classes that are effective July 2012! Its more credit hours although the website states you only need 48 to graduate.

Those classes are replacing the old theory and clinical ones. They're not additional....

CookiePB,

Whew! I almost lost it thinking that I had to take 6 more classes!! Thanks for the clarification...did anyone/advisor clarify that for you...should I call to verify?

Makes complete sense though, since its essentially the same classes, they just split it up by age group.

Thanks everyone! Keep us updated to any changes...did you guys notice they put the GRE requirement back up? We made it just in time :)

Who has been through patho already? I start 7/30 and am very overwhelmed between the book and the lessons. I'm wondering how this class was for everyone?

I just finished NU 500 and will be starting NU 503 Research 07/31. Can anyone give me an idea what this class is about? Is it all papers, any group assignments and etc...
