Start with the current Herzing University, Madison DNP requirements

We included Herzing University, Madison because the current CCNE directory lists its Doctor of Nursing Practice program. The listing was checked July 21, 2026 and should not be stretched into an unsupported claim about track design or placement procedure. Verify those items directly with the program.

Begin with the course number, term dates, required practice setting, mentor or preceptor credentials, location limits, and every form your program expects. If the course includes both a scholarly project and direct-care practice, separate those needs so each proposed person and site can be evaluated for the work they will actually supervise.

Make the scholarly project the placement spine

A DNP scholarly project needs a practice setting where the student can examine a real care or systems problem, introduce an approved change, and evaluate results. Suitable settings may include health systems, hospitals, clinics, public health programs, long-term care organizations, or community services. The right setting depends on the approved project question, access to the intended population, and the site's capacity to support the work.

The project mentor must fit both the proposed work and Herzing University, Madison's current credential rules. A DNP-prepared nurse, physician, nurse executive, quality leader, or another qualified practice expert may fit in some programs, but the title alone never establishes eligibility. We screen for role alignment and send the documented candidate to the program for its own review.

Map supervised practice hours before sourcing

The national DNP framework starts with at least 1,000 supervised post-baccalaureate practice hours. A student's remaining hours cannot be calculated from that floor alone because programs differ on pathway design and qualifying prior master's work. Use Herzing University, Madison's current degree audit and course plan to establish the approved balance before a search begins.

Direct-care practice and systems practice do not always call for the same supervisor. Population-focused care may need a board-certified nurse practitioner or physician, while leadership or quality work may fit another qualified expert. Use the DNP clinical hours guide for the cumulative framework, then apply the program's current role criteria.

Build an approval-ready match in Wisconsin

Start with the student's approved geography, not an assumption based on the campus address in Madison. A site in Wisconsin or another authorized location still has to meet the course objectives, support the intended work, and provide an eligible mentor who will participate in the school's review process.

Use our DNP placement guide for Wisconsin alongside this school page when planning geography. It identifies common site categories, while the student's program still decides what is eligible.

An approval-ready file identifies the proposed person's role, credentials, site, availability, and connection to the planned work. We assemble those facts for Herzing University, Madison's review. Any affiliation contract, compliance item, background check, authorization decision, or additional form remains under the program's process.

What to confirm before outreach begins

  • Your exact DNP pathway and practicum course
  • The remaining approved practice hours shown by your program
  • Whether the need is a project mentor, direct-care preceptor, systems mentor, or a combination
  • Required credentials and disallowed relationships
  • Approved state, setting, population, and project parameters
  • Submission deadline and all site or preceptor forms

Policies can change after a catalog or accreditation listing is published. Use the official school site linked below to locate the current handbook and confirm each item with your program. We will work from the requirements you provide and will not substitute a rule from another school.
