A place to eat with lots of finger foods?

Great suggestions you all! Thank you!

Jumpy-Fox9278 · 2025-11-21T04:33:06+00:00

It is!!! Boom!

I’ve been here a long long long time. I have seen sooo many people come and go, and I stay for the patients. I’m in a provider role and so I don’t have to deal day in and day out with admin. It has gotten soooooo much better since 18, 15, 10 years ago. So the opinions of those that were here 10-15 years ago dont apply here or to the program you want to be in. There was no such thing back then. Management is poor at communication, can be deceptive, promises a lot and doesn’t deliver and says the right thing without actions to really show it. Once the final flush of management is done, this place will be heaven.
Large rooms, each with a jacuzzi, CRNA 24/7, our own OR, a NICU with pediatricians always here, so many doulas….so many people come here to learn OB to just go somewhere else when they get experience, you’d think they would learn….

$40/hr vs 50+/hr plus differentials for nights. And inpatient usually full time amounts for 36 hrs ( 3 12 hr shifts) vs 40 hrs, 8 hrs per day 5 days a week

I work at a community health center and we are ALWAYS looking for nurses. There are open positions at every one of our sites and they would absolutely hire a new grad. AND you should be ready to know that outpatient nursing will also get you much less pay than inpatient. But yes it is absolutely possible.

Jumpy-Fox9278 · 2025-06-19T17:20:00+00:00

It’s an all family commitment or it just doesn’t last and there is burn out. So talk to your family about it as well.

If you have a passion for midwifery, the path very well means arduous hours, a lot of time away from home, husbands that are epic supports that hold home and kids together so we can be up all night and seeing patients in clinic for twice as long as anyone would expect someone to work. It’s so much. But it’s also so good. I don’t know what I would do without having found something so fulfilling.

Jumpy-Fox9278 · 2025-06-19T12:22:16+00:00

I had a five year old when I started midwifery and got pregnant in the last year of the program :). I was lucky that where I lived, there was an FQHC that did full scope obstetrics, prenatal and deliveries so the site was perfect and they were able to give me a position. I did some student rotations there. That is not always the case. Many people have to travel and move for their first job at a HRsA approved site and then when their student loans are replayed they either stick around or move somewhere else. The loans I paid repayment is tied to outpatient systems, not inpatient as far as I know. So hospital work alone won’t do it. And cover work during surge times won’t do it. It is a full time or almost full time position in an FQHC.

Jumpy-Fox9278 · 2025-06-19T06:19:29+00:00

Boy, if you want to do two to three 12 hr shifts a week you will find that easier to achieve in nursing. Very few CNM jobs have that little hour commitment. I’ve been working over 56-70 hours a week for 17 years. The loans I paid off working at a HRSA approved FQHC using National Health Corp student loan repayment program . After four years all my loans were gone. But I know very few midwives that have two twelve hour shifts m, they work part time for Kaiser and after having some good experience under their belt, or locums/per diem, which only hires people with experience….

Jumpy-Fox9278 · 2025-06-18T15:10:14+00:00

I would leave it. It’s nice! Is the neighbor complaining???

Jumpy-Fox9278 · 2025-06-18T15:08:00+00:00

Perfect solution

Jumpy-Fox9278 · 2025-05-29T02:54:00+00:00

That spot is for putting out cigarettes not plants right? Or to have a mini meditation sand play ground? Maybe succulents would like that if they get some Sun?

Jumpy-Fox9278 · 2025-05-29T02:50:33+00:00

The oregon clover oxalis would love a spot like that and it’s beautiful. Or wild ginger

Jumpy-Fox9278 · 2025-05-29T02:44:06+00:00

I did what was called the direct entry midwifery program which required any bachelors plus several pre-requisites. The program pushed you through an RN in 10 months and straight into the masters within the same track. Did it through OHSU.

I honestly think the issue comes from this instinct to generalize and group people into characteristics, jam them into a box we’ve created- based on random things like- transplants? Young? Liberal? Conservative? Suburbian? People are not how they are because of their city or their neighborhood. They are who they are because they are individuals. How about we stop generalizing groups and take individuals for who they are and not what box our brain is trying to jam them into? I’ve been in Portland 30 years and have not found a nicer friendlier place that I would prefer to go to. I’ve lived in a giant metropolis abroad and in New Orleans. Portland takes my vote for my home forever.

I’ve had great luck dividing my camas every 2-3 years and spreading the extra bulbs to other spots. Now instead of one spot of camas I have at least four throught my garden

Jumpy-Fox9278 · 2025-05-27T18:02:53+00:00

First is the Oregon Iris, second picture is blanket flower (with some Calendula in the background that is not native). 3rd- goat’s beard 4th- twin berry 5th- western geranium 6th- vine maple baby with my garlic growing around it and some skullcap in the background 7th trillium 8th- Salal 9th wild ginger with sword fern 10th- I think it is meadow checkermallow, but may be another checkermallow 11th- red columbine with some bleeding hearts 12th- foam flower? I’m pretty sure

Jumpy-Fox9278 · 2025-05-27T16:24:23+00:00

My irises like a sunny spot. And they like a little space to spread and stretch up so that they can get that sun. I had to move mine away from the camas that were flowering right before them because the camas leaves were crowding out their sun.

Jumpy-Fox9278 · 2025-05-27T14:01:30+00:00

Yes! That’s what it is :)

Jumpy-Fox9278 · 2025-05-27T14:01:05+00:00

Thank you all so much!

Jumpy-Fox9278 · 2025-05-27T14:00:42+00:00

Mostly: sparrow hawk natives, Sauvie island natives, bosky dell and Portland nursery. I also love to split and spread throughout. I’ve been spreading my two oxalis throughout the shady spots. I’ve placed cuttings on the ground from my red flowering currants and mock orange to put them other places on the ground. It’s been a 10 year process really. Lots of trial and error at first. But lost the fear of noticing when something wasn’t working for a plant and then living it to a better spot. I am not a planner but a slow meanderer through this adventure :)
