About frogandcrown

frogandcrown has 3 years experience and specializes in ER.


I am a married mother of three. My medical experience began with Phlebotomy, and a year in Pathology. I love that nursing is not one of those "time to make the donuts" jobs. I love the variety.

  7. Pinning up long hair

    Ponytail for me on most days and the rest I wear it back in a hair band (I too keep a scrunchie or clip on me just in case). If I could part with my hair I would opt for a short professional style. Hair all hanging long and in your face = unprofess...
