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!

Norik95,
Yes finding preceptors is a challenge!! My advice is to find them early and book them for each rotation, it is difficult and one little snag can affect your class/clinical line up if you are trying to complete them in the 12 month time frame. In regards to the clinical/theory class yes they are two different prices...along with a random lab/clinical fee they add-not sure how they can justify that since we do ALL of the work but they do. Not sure how many days a week you are working full time..but I work 2-12 hour shifts which are more like 14 hrs and I could not do anymore in regards to balancing life, work, family etc. I am not sure about the location of the assessment class but I am assuming any place that you will be caring for adult patients would be fine. Goodluck!

HELLO , i JUST FINISHED advanced patho and that was the most difficult class so far for me in the program as of yet . I am starting to look for preceptors for clinicals and a have hard time finding any. For the assessment course do we have to find a family practice /community clinic or it can be done in the Internal medicine/adult office?? do you have all preceptors lines up in one place or different? there is a theory part and clinical practicum part so its considered two diff classes so we have to pay/register for both at the same time? th
