Thinking about life after Herzing? Now's the perfect time to dive into opportunities that can shape your future career. One fantastic first step is by joining a Student Nursing Association (SNA). These associations offer a unique glimpse into the nursing profession, connecting you with peers and professionals, and paving the way for the next stage to a fulfilling career.
The National Student Nursing Association (NSNA) is the nationwide organization for student nurses and supports nursing initiatives for students with conferences, leadership opportunities, and a digital magazine called Imprint, published for nursing students during the academic year. Other SNAs may be regional, such as the Wisconsin Student Nurses Association or Georgia Association of Nursing Students, or you can use the student membership to specific nursing fields, such as the Emergency Nurses Association and the Academy of Medical-Surgical Nurses.
Whichever you choose—national, local, or specialty—joining a SNA is a great way to kickstart your nursing career and enrich your time as a student.

BLS pay estimates calculate the median annual wage for various occupations. Per the BLS the median wage for an occupation is: "The wage at which half of the workers in the occupation earned more than that amount, and half earned less. Median wage data are from the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics survey." Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook 2024. BLS median wage estimates do not represent entry-level wages and/or salaries. Multiple factors, including prior experience, age, geographic market in which you want to work, and degree level and field, will affect career outcomes, including starting salary and earnings as an experienced employee. Herzing neither represents that its graduates will earn the median salaries calculated by BLS for a particular job nor guarantees that graduation from its program will result in a job, promotion, particular wage or salary, or other career growth.
