Herzing University

“Earning my degree has helped me to improve my practice and lead programs that are more professional and strategic,” she said. “It has brought me to the next level of my career.”

“It was stressful for me to go back to school,” she admits. “Online was completely foreign to me. I had not been a student for a long, long time. There was no such thing as online education when I was in school.”

“This course also helped me understand so much more about nursing from a legislative standpoint. I would never have chosen to take it, but it helped me see how healthcare policy affects us daily,” she said.”

“Every course I took was helpful in different ways,” Grant said. “My nursing courses were so valuable, and I was able to apply the concepts and skills that I was learning to what I was doing at work right away.”

“I was looking for a program that would provide some flexibility,” she said. “I would be working full time in addition to going to school, so an online program was ideal. Herzing seemed like a good choice for me.”

“It took me a while to realize that it was okay to reach out to my professors, but once I did, they were all so supportive. Dr. Weiss, who was Herzing’s MSN program chair for nurse education and nursing leadership and administration, was amazingly helpful. She helped me figure out how to change my classes so I could better manage my schedule between school and work.”

“I do not doubt that my degree and the great experience that I had at Herzing will support my long-term career success,” Dennis said. “I’m excited to see what the future holds.”

“I’ve certainly become a better leader and manager since graduating,” Dennis said. “I think that earning an MBA benefits you in almost everything you do, whether it is professional writing, business communication, building your brand or making your resume shine.”

“That was such a huge validation of the choice that I made to enroll at Herzing, and I was proud of my decision to not give up.”

“My instructors had practical experiences that brought additional value to our class discussions and they helped me understand how I could apply classroom learnings in the workplace,” she said. “I had a business law class that helped me better understand certain aspects of my work. I became more knowledgeable in my field, and I was able to be more responsive to the problems that I encountered on the job.”

“My instructors and advisors got to know me. I wasn’t just another name or another voice on the phone. I was a person,” she said. “There were always adequate resources available to me and personalized support. That made all the difference.”

“At the time, I was running a full department and raising my family,” Dennis said. “There were times that I had to turn in an assignment a few days late, but I knew that my instructors were there for me. They were always very supportive of me.”

“I had put in so much work already, and I didn’t want to start over,” Dennis said. “I reached out to other schools in my area, but Herzing was the first to respond. They were so understanding and helpful, and I could tell that they cared about me and the situation that I was in. I knew Herzing was the right choice.”

“Earning my MBA seemed like a good next step,” Dennis said. “I knew that continuing my education would help set me apart from other candidates. In some fields, an MBA has become almost a requirement for advanced positions.”

““You have to step up and step into nursing — this is a fantastic career, and it’s what I’ve always wanted, but it’s never been easy, and it’s never going to be easy,” she said. “If you want to do something — being a nurse or anything else — go for it! But never stop just because it’s hard. Don’t fear the challenges. Getting challenged and then pushing through it is what makes the rewards worth it.””

““The rewards are worth every challenge,” Amber said. “When you are the one who can help someone who has been sick or in pain, and you are the person who can get them the care they need or the answers they’re looking for — that’s an amazing feeling.””

““I came to Herzing for a lot of reasons. It’s accredited, and it’s allowed me to balance family, work and life in a way that was important to me. Most of all, the team of people here never told me I couldn’t reach my goals or have the job I wanted,” recalled Amber.”

“I’ve really enjoyed our partnership with Herzing, and I look forward to continuing to work together,”

“Herzing does a great job of educating students who fit well into our healthcare model, and we look forward to continuing to build and grow our relationship with them.”

“Our partnership with Herzing has been very beneficial”

“The FNP rotations are a great value-add and a force multiplier for us.”

“Herzing does a great job of articulating the importance of patient care and their graduates are ready to get to work on day one.”

“Now that I’m a grad, I’m currently working as a Registered Medical Assistant and will submit my degree to my current employer. I know that my degree will come in handy as I continue to work toward bigger and better opportunities!”

“My courses only last seven to eight weeks, and this helped speed up the program. All of my courses helped expand my knowledge and improve the way that I do my job.”

“While earning my degree, I was working full-time and had four children all under the age of six! To find a balance, I would work on homework whenever I had spare time. This included my lunch breaks and at night after the kids went to bed. Finding the time to complete your homework is a must!”
