'''Finding.''' According to the tracker, the reporter states that on the final day of the intensive she still had two validations remaining, IV Infusion and Parenteral Medication Administration. She states she spent a large part of the day in required simulation activities, and that by the time those ended, many instructors and students were occupied with other evaluations. She also states that some skills required another participant, creating additional delays. She describes continuing to try to complete everything throughout the intensive, participating in remediation when requested, and practicing independently.

'''Evidence.''' Anonymous reporter (Anonymous member 443), Herzing Direct Entry MSN Facebook group, provided by the reporting student, describing required simulation activities occupying the final day, instructor and student unavailability, and partner-dependency delays.

'''Reported statement.''' The reporter, Anonymous member 443, states she spent much of the day in required simulation activities, and that by the time she was free to complete the remaining skills, most instructors and students were occupied with other evaluations, with some skills also requiring a second participant, which added further delay.

'''Standards.''' Raises concerns under administrative-capability expectations (34 CFR 668.14): an institution is responsible for structuring an assessment program that provides students a fair opportunity to complete required evaluations; HLC Criterion 4.B (appropriate assessment of student achievement); ACEN Standard 4.6 (evaluation methodologies are varied, regularly reviewed, and reflect current evidence-based practices). If the intensive schedule required simulation activities that structurally displaced time needed for skills validations, the scheduling design is a program-integrity concern. Recorded for review. Lead: {{HU|HU-165}}.

'''Impact.''' If accurate, the reporter was prevented from completing two validations not by refusal or inability but by the program's own scheduling structure and resource constraints.

'''Notes.''' Sub-issue of {{HU|HU-165}} (lead). Reported account, unverified. Documented 2026-06-06.
