Herzing University FNP

[ERNurse-FutureNP]

Hello,

I am interested in the FNP program. Can anyone give me insight about how you like the program? How the program works with your schedule? I am not really concerned about clinical because I have those set up.

Please just interested to know what you guys think?

Oh dear- I have been on the web all evening reading about their program- can youtell more about this ?

Call and ask? It may have changed?

Because this program doesn't have the campus intensive, how did you learn suturing and casting and physical skills such as those?

Thank you

I watched YT videos. It's easy. Not rocket science.

Yes they are! I am a California student of Herzing online and on the ca board of nursing website that school is accepted for the MSN-FNP program.

Oh - I was previously interested in their new PMHNP program. The website had previously said that program wasn’t enrolling CA students and no one at CA BON or Herzing could give me a solid - yes we are accredited and yes you will be able to sit for the board exam. 

I went with another school  but if it’s allowing students now that’s cool

Greetings, I see the PMHNP thread is busy with active and prospective students. I'm curious if there are any current and upcoming students in the FNP program. I see that the program is no longer "for profit" rather is now non-profit. I have not seen board pass rates or student retention information. I will ask via phone call with the school unless anyone else knows these details?

Hello everyone!

 

Is there a video/ lecture component to the program, or mostly all reading?

Did you work while you were in school? Did it feel manageable? I was at US University and just withdrew. I'm frustrated having started and done a lot of work and not feeling it was a good fit. Starting from square one is a killer.

Thank you,

Linda

Hello, I realize this post is old however. I considered United States University. it was that terrible? Did you finish at Herzing? How was it. Thanks again

Hello All, Hopefully one person will see this. Anyways, I just enrolled into Herzing Online MSN FNP program and I like it so far. I am in week 2 only. I was concerned about their 3Ps Clinical Proficiency Exam. Has anyone have anything thoughts on this? Is it hard or doable? I read another comment somewhere that it was a test that included nothing they prepared for. Please advise. Thanks all.

I know I am pretty late to the game, however, I am wanting to do the RN/ADN to MSN/FNP program. Are the exams proctored? If so, what proctoring system do they use? What is the coursework like? I see a lot of discussions and papers, but not really a lot of mentions of exams.

Hello,  it's been five years since I graduated but yes exams proctored, but not all. Not sure what system they used. Hey if so many nurses can further their degree online, you can too.  It's lots of writing /reaearch/discussions.  Be ready.  Find those preceptors waaaay ahead of time and try to find one that doesn't require you to pay!! Not cheap education either so make sure it's what you want.  Job market is fair but that depends on where you live.  Sometimes, pay is less than travel RN.  BTW,  consider PMHP-more pay/flexibility!  FNP is so oversaturated! Hope that helps...good luck to everyone!
