Hi, I am in the process of starting my MSN-FNP at Herzing online. Anyone else starting as well? Also, want to hear from recent graduates or current students about their experience in this school. Thanks and best of luck!

They really have no standards. Did the school require an interview before consideration for admission? Did they require you to sign an arbitration agreement upon condition of enrollment? Do they provide real access to preceptors who are incredibly difficult to find?Their goal is to fill seats and as many as possible. The recruiters are very often academic (marketing) advisers. I'm pretty sure they've spoken to you?I'm also pretty sure you are paying for this with Federal loans but have you looked into other options. The Herzing brand, 10 schools scattered throughout the U.S., is no bargain. Looking into much better options will cost you nothing but if you look at the included link it may help you to be aware of the very real risk you are taking with the second most expensive outlay you will make in life other than buying a house.

Hi, I just wanted to know if you ended up with Herzing or not? Ive been accepted there, but I need to know some info about the program before actually committing to them. How do you like the program so far? do they throw all the studying on you or do they facilitate with lectures that exams actually use to get the questions?
