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...

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....

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...
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...
Has anyone else applied to the UTA AP BSN program through Parkland for the September 2011 start? I am ANXIOUSLY waiting to find out if I got in. They said letters should go out "hopefully" in mid-May. Good luck everyone!
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 ...
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.
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...
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...

I called the CON this morning and they said they are aiming for letters to go out THIS WEDNESDAY! She said that is their goal but if not by then, definitely by the end of the week...
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...
So you guys both applied through Parkland? If so, hopefully we will be seeing each other soon!! :) I'm taking path and pharm this summer, I took Intro to Nursing awhile back. It's a really good feeling that I'm (hopefully) almost there. Keep me post...
