What happens after you finish a Herzing MSN?
Herzing's nursing programmes hold CCNE accreditation, which is what national certification boards and state boards of nursing look for. That is the requirement that lets a graduate sit for certification in their specialty.
What accreditation does not settle is where and how you may practise, which is governed separately by each state.
The accreditation detail worth knowing
CCNE accreditation at Herzing is stated per campus. The doctoral programme, master's programme and post-graduate APRN certificate are accredited at Herzing University - Madison, and that is the relationship an online graduate studies under.
It is entirely normal for a multi-campus university and it is not a problem. It is worth knowing so it does not produce a moment of doubt during a licensure application.
The separate question of practice authority
States differ substantially in what a nurse practitioner may do independently, and in what supervision or collaboration agreements are required. That is set by your state board rather than by your school.
Check it before you enrol rather than after, because it shapes what the credential is worth to you in the place you actually live.
What employers ask for
Accreditation, certification and licence. In that order, and none of them are about the school's reputation.
Herzing is accepted where those are the criteria. It is not a name that carries weight on its own, so if prestige is what you are buying, a state university does that job better.
