Herzing University Reviews of Certificate in Licensed Practical Nurse

Herzing advertise themselves very well at the beginning, hence as it is their job. Everything is all about business. I was skeptical at first because it's a private school and expensive. However, I was excited to start a new journey and to see how quickly these programs are, I was up for the challenge to attend school year round. The classes itself were decent. It was a smaller school setting. The teachers at the location I attended (WI) was amazing but the plot twist of having milestones pretty... Read More much threw me off. I did well in the classes passing with A's and high B's, but with the milestones, I did not successfully pass the FIRST one and to think we have 3-4 more of these kind of test platforms to accomplish, in order to even graduate. So say if you pass all of them but doesn't pass their "exit" exam which indeed is a part of the HESI platform, you will be throwing away all the times worth you spent there not graduating from there. I understand it's a private school and they need to throw in all these things to make them compatible with other schools, but this is not the way to go. Throwing these exams and not being able to teach student effectively to pass, it's horrible. You spend more money on outside material and on top of that, this so is just expensive overall. They make you feel like all the books and scrubs are for free, when all of that are added to you tuition. If this school works for you, it works for you...but I would not recommend this school to anyone until they actually help and do better in supporting all programs. By the time they do make any changes, I'll probably be kicked out of the program because I may not have passed their milestones or whatever hidden exams they got up next to make this school competitive with others. Also, you can't take any credits with you. So if you don't pass their milestones, you take nothing but debt with you if you're even allowed anyways else with an actual good program who cares for you. Anyone could become a good nurse or be great in their field. Nursing is challenging but I believe if given the right materials and instruction, the rates of this school graduates would be more higher and more students will recommend this school for others. Overall, if this school works for you, great. Do your research first before attending any schools and actually look at the graduate rates before applying anywhere. Horrible and upsetting.

I hate this school real bad when I started out loving it a lot of things are not made clear upon enrollment I was doing well in all my classes until we got hit with a MILESTONE TEST which doesn’t help that you have other classes with exams all at the same time it’s hard to study or focus on one thing we were told that if we don’t pass we have to take a remediation class which I don’t feel is right specially when you have already spent so much time and money on your actual classes this is not fair... Read More to people who only want to help other people they are making it impossible to get to the next level then the worst part is if you leave you have to start over because your credits don’t transfer anywhere it’s ridiculous because no where in the handbook was this huge test outlined

I am currently in the LPN program at the Orlando campus and I will be graduating October 2019. The first thing that I want to address is my professor. She is very unprofessional. I participate in class discussions, I study hard, know the material and have yet to fail and test and still get treated like a child and disrespected by this professor. Teaching is clearly not for her. Not a peoples person and does not know how to speak to people. Another thing that I want to address is the disorganization... Read More this school has. Are clinical instructors changed last minute, last semester our lab teachers changed last minute, and the class is always confused because the professor makes nothing clear and were expected to figure it out or ask a classmate is going to stick it out because I know I can do it. I have tough skin and Im very determined but what I will say is DO NOT ATTEND THIS SCHOOL. Youre wasting your money and time! If I knew the things I know now I would have never attending this university

The Bham school is dysfunctional and unorganized. The staff and the professors seem nice at first. But dont let that fool you. If you have a family emergency the professors will tell you can make up the work. But in the nursing program they will fail you if miss something. They also charge $30,000 for a LPN program. Most schools charge that for a bachelors 4yr degree in a Nursing program and they want to charge it for a CERTIFICATE. Its a rip off and you will be wasting your time. When I saw the... Read More retention rates on my Financial Aide, and the cost, i knew this was not the place further my education. My advice DONT GO TO THIS SCHOOL. You will be in a lot of debt....Its not worth it their are better and cheaper schools than this one.
