Herzing's Clinical Pledge

Herzing understands securing clinical placement as part of an MSN in nurse education program is one of the biggest concerns students face. That is why Herzing offers guidance and support through their step-by-step Clinical Guidance Process to ensure you can get the clinical practice experiences you need.

As a Herzing student, you are encouraged to find your own preceptor and clinical sites as there are many benefits to doing so. However, Herzing provides extensive support should you find difficulty along the way. With Herzing, you are never on your own.

Because of Herzing's strong relationships with healthcare providers across the U.S. and their comprehensive Clinical Guidance Process, Herzing is confident in their ability to help you find clinical placement. So much so that if you are unable to find a clinical site on your own, we pledge to step in and help you secure clinical placement. *
