   It's funny how you have exactly 3 posts on this website, all of them slamming Parkland. Are you a nurse? Medical professional? Reporter? What qualifies you to speak how you do other than that ridiculous webpage?

   Are you kidding?! That website is such a joke! It looks like it was put together by some teenagers. Movie clips? Haunted houses? Please! I work at Parkland and it's wonderful. We receive the sickest of the sick, mangled of the mangled. The ...

   How did it go today? What instructors did you meet? I absolutely couldn't stand Mrs. VZ in the first semester but now she's my favorite! Don't feel too overwhelmed. I know after the first day, I was really scared and wanted to quit. It gets bet...

   It's cold! Bring a jacket or blanket. It's 100 degrees out but we freeze in lecture.

   No gum only applies to clinicals. You can have it in class. :)

   2nd semester was harder as far as schedules go. There were 8 clinical days and 4 simulation labs.

   It's totally do-able, it just takes dedication. I have 5 children, ages 6-12 and a husband that works full time. If I can do it, anyone can! ;)You'll make some great friends and you'll have this amazing "ah ha" moment when it will all just click.

    I think there were only 3 clinical days at the nursing home that first semester.

    The only time your schedule will be Mon-Fri will be during your summer 2 semester after your freshman year. I'm sure they want you to block out that much time so you are more flexible to the clinical schedules, but you will not go 5 days a week. Eve...

    I'm trying to think of anything else I had to buy at first. A large binder to hold the massive amounts of paperwork, a clipboard when you start clinicals.... They provide almost everything else.

    The BON books-they told us we needed to buy the print copy. It's too long to print out yourself and it's referenced in several lectures and tests. This is up to you. I think there are several in our class that didn't buy the actual books and they w...

    Yes, you will need your own stethoscope. Any kind will do. BP cuff-it's handy to have your own, especially for the first few weeks, but you don't have to have it. They have several in the lab and you won't be able to take your own BP cuff into cli...

    Hey guys! I'm a sophomore in the program right now and I can answer some of your questions. It's not a 5 day week, it will change constantly, but Thursdays are always lecture days from 8:30-4:30, Wednesdays are test days, usually only a couple of h...
