   Unfortunately the hiring process at Parkland moves very slowly. I would just follow up with HR and don't give up. :) good luck!!!

3. UTA Online Academic Partnership BSN Program - Dallas Hospitals

   stephwp replied to txnurstud's topic in Texas (UTA)

   I'm starting the program at Parkland in the fall and I won't be working. It's not a requirement there, and I've been told it's preferred to work as little as possible with not working at all being the most ideal. We had to do a time management calend...

4. Why does anyone go into nursing?

   stephwp replied to guineapiglover2011's topic in General Students

   I agree. Wearing comfy clothes will be a welcome change to wearing heels every day like I currently do :) I will be taking a pay cut to go into nursing and I don't even care. I've done the "job for money" thing and that paycheck only gets you so far....

5. Why does anyone go into nursing?

   stephwp replied to guineapiglover2011's topic in General Students

   I, for one, am glad that different people have different interests and end up pursuing all kinds of careers. Yes, you may think nursing is awful and gross and underpaid. BUT that's you, not me. Lots of people act surprised when I say I'm going to nur...

6. Pharmacology Failure - Need Advice

   stephwp posted a topic in General Students

   So I just took my second test in pharmacology and got a big fat 64. The first test was over pharmacodynamics, etc., and I got a 96 on that one but this one really threw me for a loop as it was the first test with actual drugs on it. If I don't pass t...

8. UTA online Pathophysiology

   stephwp replied to tejas03's topic in Texas (UTA)

   I noticed that the first quiz is only worth 5% of our grade versus the rest that are 7% each. I guess she's trying to give us a chance to get a feel for the quizzes with the first one :) I'm reading the chapters but not as slowly as I normally do (I ...

9. UTA online Pathophysiology

   stephwp replied to tejas03's topic in Texas (UTA)

   Hi Tejas 03- we seem to be crossing paths a lot on here :) I am taking this class as well and it's a little overwhelming! I work full-time also, so that is my main concern, fitting it all in...Goodbye to all my nights/weekends.

10. UTA fall 2011

    stephwp replied to aamon1's topic in Texas

    Tejas 03 and adrialeigh- I'm partnered at Parkland and have worked there for almost 2 years in a completely non-clinical role. Parkland doesn't make you sign a contract, but I think I've read somewhere on this site that THR does. I don't know about t...

12. UTA-Parkland AP BSN Fall 2011

    stephwp replied to stephwp's topic in Texas

    jdvens- Congratulations! :) I'm sure we will meet soon! I also got my acceptance letter!! I don't think UTA has done a great job of expressing just how much advantage you have with already being partnered before you apply. Basically, "we" get first d...

15. UTA AP online BSN questions

    stephwp replied to tejas03's topic in Texas (UTA)

    Hi Ana- I took A&P II at UTA online through the partnership and I loved it. Given how some online classes I've taken have been so disorganized and confusing, I was skeptical at first but I have to say, this was the best online class I've ever tak...
