I started at Parkland last January (more)
but I was hired into the NICU rather than adult critical care area. Yes, you are paid during your internship period, both for clinical hours and education hours....they even paid for an NCLEX review course for us and paid us to attend! Parkland is one of those places that you either love or hate, depending on the day. I absolutely love the variety of patients that we see and all of the different experiences that we get.....there are days that it seems like a good option would be to move on....thankfully, those are few and far between and I imagine would happen anywhere. Their pay is very comparable with the other hospitals and in some areas, the diffs are better. Good Luck, and if I can answer any other questions, just ask.
