Nursing opportunities in Maine (Portland, Lewiston: credit, schools, university)

[bignhfamily]

Hello to all,
DW and kids and I are planning yet another scouting mission to Maine just before Christmas. This time we are looking in the Parkman, Guilford, Sangerville area.
My DW is a LNA here in NH and has already got her CNA in Maine. She would like to continue her education in nursing when we get to Maine and asked me where she could do that. I told her that that I had no idea but that some of you surely would.
So can anybody tell us what schools in Maine offer LPN and RN programs?

God Bless and many thanks!

Husson and UMaine Orono offer RN programs. I think the community college in Bangor offers LPN.

My fiance is an LPN. We are unfortunately selling and moving out of state but there are ample LPN and aide positions around Kennebunk and Biddeford areas.

Oh, this is great. Thank you all so much!

EMCC is 2 years and requires pre reqs and an essay and an interview. Usually 200 plus applicants for 21 slots.

KVCC ditto.

UMO is two year waiting list, but it will take you that amount of time to get the requisites out of the way.

Ditto Husson.

You can do a lot of pre-requisites studies on the cheap at the Penquis Higher Education Center in Dover-Foxcroft.

Feel free to pm me for more info!
