  1. Parkland Hospital, Dallas Texas.

    Mom/Nurse2b replied to playmaker2008's topic in Texas Nursing

    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...

  2. Parkland Hospital, Dallas Texas.

    Mom/Nurse2b replied to playmaker2008's topic in Texas Nursing

    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...

  3. Navarro ADN-RN program Fall 2012

    Mom/Nurse2b replied to RED1984's topic in Texas Nursing

    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...

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

    Mom/Nurse2b replied to RED1984's topic in Texas Nursing

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

    LOL! I just read the last question about the bridge students. Josh, I'll let you take that

    Hi fellow beta blocker! See you

  8. Navarro ADN-RN program Fall 2012

    Mom/Nurse2b replied to RED1984's topic in Texas Nursing

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

  9. Navarro ADN-RN program Fall 2012

    Mom/Nurse2b replied to RED1984's topic in Texas Nursing

    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...

  10. Navarro ADN-RN program Fall 2012

    Mom/Nurse2b replied to RED1984's topic in Texas Nursing

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

  11. Navarro ADN-RN program Fall 2012

    Mom/Nurse2b replied to RED1984's topic in Texas Nursing

    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...

  12. Navarro ADN-RN program Fall 2012

    Mom/Nurse2b replied to RED1984's topic in Texas Nursing

    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

  13. Navarro ADN-RN program Fall 2012

    Mom/Nurse2b replied to RED1984's topic in Texas Nursing

    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...

  14. Navarro ADN-RN program Fall 2012

    Mom/Nurse2b replied to RED1984's topic in Texas Nursing

    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...

  15. Navarro ADN-RN program Fall 2012

    Mom/Nurse2b replied to RED1984's topic in Texas Nursing

    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,...

    Mom/Nurse2b replied to RED1984's topic in Texas Nursing

    Congrats to all the applicants! I look forward to meeting you in the Fall! :) If you haven't received an email yet, don't despair. They are notoriously slow with paperwork. I asked ***** 2 weeks ago...

  17. Anyone applying for Navarro ADN Fall 2011?

    Mom/Nurse2b posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm a nervous wreck! I sent in my application a few weeks ago and now begins the long wait! I've searched all the threads on this site for Navarro information and have seen a lot of posters saying...

  18. Anyone applying for Navarro ADN Fall 2011?

    Mom/Nurse2b replied to Mom/Nurse2b's topic in Texas Nursing

    It sounds like you'll be in the top of the applicants but you never know for sure. It all depends on the group applying. I don't think they can have a preference, legally, although there are several...

  19. Anyone applying for Navarro ADN Fall 2011?

    Mom/Nurse2b replied to Mom/Nurse2b's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi Katie! Oh boy, do I remember what you're going through! The wait seems like forever! I'm not sure of my final points, they didn't tell us that, so I'm no help there. Sorry. What is your GPA,...

  20. Dcccd financial aid woes....

    Mom/Nurse2b replied to working2b#1's topic in Texas Nursing

    He still hasn't gotten an award letter either. They've tried to drop his classes twice but then gave an emergency extension until financial aid came through. Keep us updated on any

  21. runners in nursing school?

    Mom/Nurse2b replied to swoody's topic in General Students

    I'mThatGuy-that makes me feel so much better too! I usually run 2 miles 3 days a week and 4 miles on Saturdays, which is my long day. It's a HUGE stress reliever for me and I am so scared to lose...

  22. Where do you sit in lecture

    Mom/Nurse2b replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    In the front but to the side. If my children call my cell phone (emergencies only!) or I have to use the restroom, I want to leave the classroom without distracting anyone

  23. Dcccd financial aid woes....

    Mom/Nurse2b replied to working2b#1's topic in Texas Nursing

    My husband is in the same boat as you with DCCCD. I did all my pre-reqs with them for the past 3 years and have never had a problem. This year they must have changed things up because he can never...

  24. runners in nursing school?

    Mom/Nurse2b replied to swoody's topic in General Students

    I didn't really answer your question in my last post. I guess my tenative plans are to run on the mornings that I don't have school and on the weekends. For example, I go to school on Mondays,...

  25. runners in nursing school?

    Mom/Nurse2b replied to swoody's topic in General Students

    Holy crap I'm so glad to see someone else post this! I'm a new runner-about 8 months. I'm a stay-at-home mom so I can pretty much run whenever, but my routine has been to run in the mornings after...
