  1. Pumpkins, Other Large Squash, Sun Flowers, and Melons

    Zapi791 replied to SummerGarden's topic in Gardening and Preserving Food's Let's Talk

    The squash bugs always seem to take over my squash. I only harvested 2 decent squash this year before the plants all died from pest. I refuse to give up, so I planted several seeds of various squash...

    I have been watching this group for a few days and I apologize if I am posting in the wrong place because I never posted a topic before. I am recently starting to work 12 hour shifts for a few...

    Zapi791 replied to Zapi791's topic in Gardening and Preserving Food's Let's Talk

    Update 3 I made another harvest this morning after working two 12 hour shifts. Now I understand the traditional meanings behind Thanksgiving and the last fall harvesting. I will add a...

  4. New grad debilitating anxiety is causing me to not work

    Zapi791 replied to Faithful2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    @Faithful2, Mild anxiety is actually very healthy and can promote achieving goals if channeled correctly. Severe anxiety on the other hand, is not healthy or useful. Everyone has mild anxiety...

  5. Zapi's Garden after Hurricane Nicolas

    Zapi791 replied to Zapi791's topic in Gardening and Preserving Food's Let's Talk

    Update 2 My grey zucchini plant produced one beautiful fruit. I will water it today and see if the plant comes back from drought. My first fairytale (shooting star) eggplant tasted amazing...

  6. New grad debilitating anxiety is causing me to not work

    Zapi791 replied to Faithful2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hello Faithful, Since the only thing holding you back from nursing is a "treatable" medical condition, I find it strange that you "refuse to treat" it because of "possible" side effects. If you...

  7. Zapi's Garden after Hurricane Nicolas

    Zapi791 replied to Zapi791's topic in Gardening and Preserving Food's Let's Talk

    update: After working two 12 hour shifts I found my garden was thirsty, but for the most part seemed revivable after the 2 day drought. I think the drought is mild since Fall has arrived and the...

    Zapi791 replied to april1785's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sometimes orientation such as learning the computer system and policies etc... in general are the same for both new grad and regular RN job . New Grad RN programs usually provide more shadowing with...

  9. Which offer should I take??? Need advice

    Zapi791 replied to Jules2385's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am not sure, but if the pediatric surgeons also own or operate pediatric clinics etc... maybe an opportunity to find a preceptor when the time presents will be easier for you. I have heard that...

  10. Which offer should I take??? Need advice

    Zapi791 replied to Jules2385's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow you have 2 great options. If you take the OR nurse job at the Children's Hospital you would possibly find many available preceptors for when you start NP clinicals. However, if you opt...

  11. Preceptor Made Me Feel Like I Should Leave Nursing

    Zapi791 replied to Nurse12390's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you are not doing anything wrong Ashywlms. The culture on the nursing unit is just very negative and they lack interest in creating positive learning experiences for new nurses. Since...

  12. Advice please

    Zapi791 replied to NicKi0410's topic in General Nursing

    To answer your original question, no one in the United States of America is forced to work. The nurses have option to work full-time 40 hours per week, part-time (less than 40 hours a week), PRN...

  13. Preceptor Made Me Feel Like I Should Leave Nursing

    Zapi791 replied to Nurse12390's topic in General Nursing

    Hospitals are hiring new grads directly into specialties now so that they can meet the criteria for magnet recognition. However, it takes a strong nursing education department to execute the...

  14. Advice please

    Zapi791 replied to NicKi0410's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like the head of command at the first job is not involved with communicating with the staff and HR is just a middle management office between the two. If the doctor can pay you less, work...

  15. Considering quitting nursing

    Zapi791 replied to LouR's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I feel like running for the hills sometimes. Bedside nursing takes a lot of sacrifice. I used to eat lunch at 12 noon everyday, but now I am blessed if I get a lunch at 3pm. I am also blessed if I...
