Herzing university BSN online

[Cilla221]

Hi everyone,

I'm a LPN looking to further my career in nursing and I really want to attend an online school. I attended a brick and mortar school for my lpn and found class other than lab to really be a wast of time. I know this sounds bad but hear me out, my instructors for lecture would mostly just put us in groups have us read the different sections and teach each other. I found this to be very unhelpful. Anyway I am interested in attending Herzing University online BSN program. The thing that I am worried about is that you have to find your own clinicals. They do have someone that is supposed to help with this but ultimately you are responsible for finding your clinicals. Should I not do this program? Does anyone have any experience with find clinicals for a BSN program?

Hey there,  

I do not have experience with this myself, but I know covid has made clinical placements a challenge for all nursing student at every level. 

I would suggest you look into this further by finding out exactly what types of places you will need to do clinicals (inpatient, outpatient, community health, etc.) and how many sites you will need to find.  Then I would reach out to potential clinical locations and see if they are accepting individual students, keeping in mind it sounds like you would not be in a group of students with direct university supervision (clinical instructor) with you. 

Another step could be talking with the clinical coordinator that would be assisting you and seeing if you can determine how much help they can provide, where they typically place students, etc.  

My advice would be to hold off enrolling until you are very sure this will be possible in your area/city. 

Best of luck!

This information is new to me!

I have an interview tomorrow with WGU for their pre-licensure BSN program. They assign clinicals, Herzing doesn't?
