Herzing University (HU) - Online Direct Entry MSN

Updated:   Published

Hi everyone, I'm a non-nurse who is looking at several different direct entry programs and came across the Herzing University program which seems perfect or me, especially since I can roll the pre-requisites into the course. Is there anyone that is currently enrolled or has previous experience with the direct entry MSN or any of their MSN programs that can share the experience? Thanks!

You mentioned that the first clinical was at the end of the 1st semester, so you did not have any in person commitments until that point? I'm looking at maybe starting in Jan 2025, but have a 5 day family commitment mid Jan and was worried about if a clinical would interfere. Thanks

During semester 1, Clinical I is at the end of the first term of the nursing core classes.  If you start in January, you will more than likely complete a 3 day intensive at one of the Herzing campuses in April. You should be fine.

Was it a requirement that you take the TEAS to start the program? Overall would you say the program is decent?

Hello,

I did take the TEAS. The program is based on the individual. Are you self motivated? Etc. You are responsible for learning a lot of content on your own. You need supplemental materials that are not offered by the school to reinforce key concepts. These materials include Simple Nursing, YourBestGrade.com, and the HESI comprehensive review book. Watching Nurse Sarah on YouTube helps with the Dosage Calc.

Hi,

I am currently enrolled in Herzing MSN- DE program. It is convenient if you are ready to start Now, but there are some drawbacks. 1. You have to go with the flow as the school  work out issues because it is a new program. The program has a learning platform that most students complain about. 2. In person clinical is given at the end of Semester 1, but I feel like an orientation is needed in the beginning to outline expectations prior to start. 3. It is expensive. 4. There are milestone exams to take to ensure you will pass the NCLEX. Other things about the program 1. prerequisites are offered prior to starting the nursing program. 2. You can finish the program quickly. If you are self-motivated, this program may be a good fit. Try to look on the bright side to push through. In X amount of months, you will be a master's level RN. 

How has the program been? Are you close to completing it? Would you recommend this school to people?

The program is newer. There are still things that can be improved upon. I am so glad that I am close to finishing. I would recommend this school to people who need flexibility and convenience that online schools offer. Nursing school is not easy anywhere you go.
