INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Run a quick internet search for businesses in your area. These shops make their money by repairing and reselling old tires, which means they're just the kind of buyer you're looking for. While you're looking up retreading shops near you, read some reviews to see what kind of experiences other customers have had dealing with them. Don't just promise your tires to the first name on the list. Call up several different shops and ask what they'd be willing to pay per tire. By shopping around your options, you'll be able to maximize how much you walk away with. Most of the time, standard passenger tires are worth around $1-1.50 apiece, while larger truck tires can go for as much as $40 per casing. If the shop doesn't advertise a fixed rate, try haggling a little by dropping hints to the salesperson that another shop has offered you more. Find out how many tires the shop will buy in one transaction, and if they have any restrictions in place regarding the age or mileage of their inventory. You can save yourself a lot of trouble by making sure the conditions of purchase are clear upfront. Some shops may only accept newer tires or those with a minimal amount of wear and tear. If you have a lot of tires stored away (usually 100 or more), the retreader may send someone to pick them up themselves, sparing you a separate trip. Once you've made your first successful sale, consider returning to the same shop for all of your future business. They may be willing to offer you a special rate if you're a dedicated dealer. At the very least, you'll know that you always have somewhere to offload your unwanted tires. Tires tend to be in the most demand in late summer and early fall, when retreaders begin gearing up for the treacherous road conditions of the winter months.

SUMMARY: Find a local tire retreading shop. Compare offers to get a better price. Ask for details about the consignment process. Establish a good relationship with the tire buyer.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can purchase the seeds for about $2.00-$5.00 per pack. You will likely only need to purchase one packet. Lettuce seeds are very small, so one packet will give you over 500 seeds. Because the seeds are so small, some brands make pelleted seeds. Pelleted seeds are covered in an organic clay coating. The extra layer makes the seeds more visible and easier to handle. Butter lettuce should get a minimum of 4-6 hours of direct sunlight a day, however, it will tolerate partial shade as well. It grows the best in temperatures between 4565F (718C), but will tolerate temperatures as low as 20F (7C) and as high as 80F (27C). Lettuce grows best in cooler weather, making it most suitable for spring and fall harvests. If you're growing lettuce over the summer, then the heat may cause the crop to bolt, which will make it taste bitter. If you are planting the lettuce during warmer weather, shaded areas are a good option. The soil should be rich, smooth, and well-drained. If your soil is hard or clumpy, use a tiller to break it up and smooth it out. You can start your lettuce in planting trays indoors, but lettuce does really well when it's planted directly in the soil of your home garden. Drop 2-3 seeds in the trench every 48 inches (1020cm) and lightly cover the seeds with about 18 inch (0.32cm) of soil. Water the seeds thoroughly after planting. The seeds need light to germinate, so it's important that you don't cover them with a thick layer of soil. Plant new seeds in the open spaces every week or 2. This helps to space out your lettuce growth so you can enjoy your harvest over a longer period of time instead of all at once. Some gardeners opt to broadcast the seeds over the planting area. This method works, however, you can expect to have lots of small heads of lettuce that grow all at one time. This can make it difficult to use all of your harvest and often leads to a lot of waste. The soil should remain moist, but not soggy. If you notice that the soil dries out quickly, you can water it daily; if the soil is still fairly moist on the second day, wait until the third day to water again. Germination will occur in about 1 week after planting.

SUMMARY: Get lettuce seeds online or at your local garden or department store. Choose a location to plant your lettuce. Dig a shallow trench to sow seeds for controlled growth. Water your seeds lightly every 2 days until they germinate.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: After you have practiced as an RN for 2 years or more, get certified as a psychiatric nurse or psychiatric nurse practitioner with the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) or equivalent organization in your country. In the U.S., certification is required in many states, and recommended in others. To qualify for the certification, have the equivalent of 2 years full-time work as a licensed RN. Show that you have completed least 2,000 hours of clinical practice in psychiatricmental health nursing in the last 3 years. Use your BSN, MSN, or continuing education transcripts to show that you have taken at least 30 hours of continuing education in psychiatric-mental health nursing in the last 3 years. In the United States, requirements for this certification will vary depending on your state. After you have your BSN and RN license, consider pursuing a graduate degree to become either a psychiatric nurse practitioner or clinical nurse specialist. You will be better paid and have more responsibilities. To get an MSN, apply to highly-ranked graduate programs. Then complete a practicum under supervision to earn certification as a specialist in child, adolescent, or adult psychiatric nursing. There are some MSN programs, often called "entry-level," that do not require you to have a BSN as long as you already have an undergraduate degree. These programs typically last 3 years rather than 2. Only 1% of U.S. nurses have a doctoral degree, but it only takes 2-4 years of further study, depending on your program, after you complete your MSN to earn a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) or PhD. With an advanced degree, you will study how diseases and mental illnesses progress from a clinical point of view. If you are interested in education and research, a doctoral degree will allow you to become a Nurse Educator or a Nurse Researcher.

SUMMARY: Earn certification as a psychiatric nurse practitioner. Consider pursuing a Masters of Science in Nursing degree. Get your doctorate if you are interested in research and education.
