Herzing University-Atlanta...new BSN Program

U.S.A. Georgia

Published

Has anyone heard anything about Herzing University's Nursing Program.....particularly here in Atlanta? I know they have one in Florida and Winsconsin. :confused:

well i wont be able to apply for spring admissions now, wont have the 1200 needed to complete my last 2 classes in time for this semester...sigh. now i have to aim for summer 2012 or fall 2012 if bauder doesnt start a program beginning of next year. I looked on the board of nursing in ga to get all the schools that are within driving distance or that i would be willing to move for (savannah) seems like only 2 so far have summer admissions (darton and west ga) everyone else has fall of course, now its a mtter of when their deadline is and if i can apply missing a few pre-reqs. GA highlands is one of my top choices too, i was going to apply for apring admissions but since im missing anat 2 and micro my scoresheet probably would have been too low. fall has a lower scoresheet accepted. Im even going to apply for schools in michigan where im from and move in with the folks if i get in. :p

I have received the acceptance letter for Herzing in Atlanta for the BSN program, but they want me to retake Anatomy 1 and 2, microbiology, public speaking, and English 1102. I am wondering if it's a good idea to spend my time and money on those classes again. Does anyone can advice me on this please? I am confused.:cry:

I went to their information session twice and trust me their program aint ccne accredited it could take 3 to 10years to achieve that so paying 80k amount of money for just a bsn without fully accreditation don't seems right. Please apply to the state schools to lower your cost.. on georgia nursing board is still under the developmental accreditation meaning is not fully accredited. Herzing University aint a great school to be paying such an amount why not try mercer or emory? think twice.

I attend Herzing now,some of your prereqs will transfer, however it will Not shorten your graduation time, it will just allow you to go to school less days a week. Their nursing programs are set to specific lengths. At other universities you could apply your credits and js go straight in to your core classes, herzing doesnt do that. However, it is a good school but very expensive due to it being a private college..plus you have to be a good self teacher at times, but good luck to you all.

So far I think I like it. The instructors are very knowledgeable and patient with students. Most of the instructors are nurses which is really great. The staff is really great. Great customer service!

Herzing University BSN program is CCNE accredited as of September 2014.:yes:

I can not find their NCLEX pass rate. Does anyone attend this campus? I'm interested in their nursing program but ask really nervous.

@sheilou no dear not fully, still some work going one with no guarantee of accreditation before one graduates. https://www.herzing.edu/about/accreditation

"...Further, the program is a new applicant program pursuing initial accreditation by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE, One Dupont Circle, NW, Suite 530 Washington, DC, 20036-1120, 202-887-6791, www.aacn.nche.edu/ccne-accreditation)."

Read and understand what comes after, don't get the above statement confused for full accreditation.

"New applicant status is neither a status of accreditation nor a guarantee that accreditation will be granted. New and current students should not plan on the program having said accreditation at the time they graduate. Some employers may prefer applicants from programs that have CCNE accreditation. Students are advised to consult with employers of preference as to the importance of this accreditation on their hiring decisions."

Did anyone try to compare Emory to Herzing? Oh well... I will rather go to only Emory (if I choose the private route) or go to any other public university (like GSU, KSU...).

Emory, Clayton and GSU are CCNE accredited along with Herzing.

@endowed, I see what you are talking about, sorry. But what does that really mean because when you look at the Georgia state board of nursing, it says initial along with chamberlain and a few other schools. But I know of students that have taken their NCLEX that went to both schools.

State approval is separate from accreditation from CCNE or ACEN. State approval allows you to test for NCLEX while CCNE/ACEN may affect any post graduate work you seek. Herzing is CCNE accredited as of 9/17/2014. They also currently have initial approval from the Georgia BoN. Initial approval is for new programs. Be weary of programs that only have conditional approval.
