Parkland Hospital in Dallas, TX

[HPnurse7]

Hi!

So I am soon to be a new graduate nurse and I received an offer from the new Parkland Hospital in Dallas, TX. I am not familiar with the hospital let alone the city of Dallas. So I am just looking for reviews as to what it is like working at Parkland or related suggestions! Please help! I've heard it is a great place to learn but the burn out rate is high and their workload is quite extensive.

Any thoughts?

In my opinion the 'upscale' patients and their families in places such as Southlake and the Park Cities are more difficult to deal with than the undereducated ones from the 'downscale' areas.

Along with the sense of entitlement, there's also a sense of passive aggressiveness. The wealthy patients and families are the ones who tend to smile and nod in the presence of the nurse with no indications of dissatisfaction, then complain to hospital administration the very next day about the 'horrible' care.

Passive aggressiveness at its finest. Give me Oak Cliff (the 'hood) over Highland Park (the rich enclave) any day and any time.

Yes, this. One (several?) reasons I choose to work with an underserved population who are uninsured/underinsured.

Then why are you posting on a nurse's web site? It's STAPH infection, not "staff." And your hyperbole is not helpful.

He's one if those men who have to import a wife from poorer nations. He's afraid of women from the first world. Not submissive or passive enough. He thinks a young, pretty foreign bride will be thankful.

he needs to read some of the threads on visa journey and see how men just like him have been scammed by docile women, lol. Iron fists on velvet gloves is a better description

Hi! I am interviewing for Parkland's burn unit and was wondering if anyone knew anything about it? I know its a very prestigious unit but I don't know much else.
