Nursing Certification

Registered Nursing – Certification

Very few professional fields offer as much flexibility and advancement potential as Registered Nursing. The demand for professionals in all areas of this profession will continue to increase as our national population ages. To gain the fullest advantage of this high-growth career, however, you still need to have the best possible credentials.

To position yourself to get noticed for the nursing position you really want, you need three things:

• A quality education
• Related work/externship experience
• Industry credentials

Your Herzing University degree is a great start

Our registered nursing programs are designed to help our graduates successfully pass their national licensing examination, known as the National Council Licensure Examination, or NCLEX-RN. Other eligibility requirements for licensure vary by State. Contact your state’s board of nursing for details. Successful completion of the NCLEX-RN examination allows the graduate to use the title Registered Nurse (RN).

Our Madison campus Associate of Science in Nursing degree is accredited by the
National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC) – 404-975-5000.

Additional certification includes:

• ANCC Nurse Certification
• American Nurses Association/American Nurses Credentialing Center

Practical Nursing – Certification

Just because there is record-breaking demand for practical nurses doesn’t mean employers are settling for less than the best. Today’s patients demand top quality care, and healthcare facilities have to provide it in order to stay in business.

To find the best jobs, you need a quality education, related work/externship experience, and industry certification. That’s why Herzing University provides a state-approved Practical Nursing program. Our curriculum features hands-on clinicals and an externship that will give you solid experience in your field.

At Herzing, you get the preparation you need to succeed

Our Practical Nursing program prepares graduates to sit for the required licensing examination, known as the NCLEX-PN. This computerized exam is developed and administered by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing to make sure practical nurses have sufficient knowledge in four major Client Needs categories: safe and effective care environment, health promotion and maintenance, psychosocial integrity, and physiological integrity

Eligibility for licensure may vary by state; for details, contact your state’s board of nursing. Successful completion of the NCLEX-PN examination allows the graduate to use the title Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN).

In addition, graduates of the Herzing University Practical Nursing program are eligible to sit for the Association of Practical Nurse Education and Services (NAPNES) Certification in Pharmacology, a national credential issued by NAPNES for practical nurses.
