3. Hospital & The Drug Screen: I thought they had to wait?

   Nurse Cookie Swirl replied to cassimoo's topic in General Nursing

   OP what is the drug in question? If you don't mind me asking. There's no need to worry if it isn't going to affect your performance.

5. MNA vs MSNA

   Nurse Cookie Swirl replied to Nurse Cookie Swirl's topic in SRNA

   I called the COA and AANA about this. They told me it all depends on the employer and every company/hospital or university is different. The COA advised very seriously that I go for a DNP because they are trying to make that a requirement for all sch...

6. Unit Manager Demands I Cut My Hair

   Nurse Cookie Swirl replied to Nurse Cookie Swirl's topic in Relations

   Surprisingly I've been left alone. People really like the fade. It is a lot of work though. Not as much as my old locks but I go to the barber every other week. It probably only needs maintenance once a month but my friends work in the shop so I go m...

7. Interview attire.

   Nurse Cookie Swirl replied to Brooklynn89's topic in SRNA

   Alor14582 makes a good point. We spend all this money on applying to schools and getting certifications but god forbid you spend $900 on cloths. I hope you realize that after CRNA school you will use that same designer suit again to get a job in the ...

8. Interview attire.

   Nurse Cookie Swirl replied to Brooklynn89's topic in SRNA

   Always choose business suit. Go to Nordstroms and get yourself a nice black Hugo Boss jacket, slacks, and white collared blouse top. Black dress shoe heels with black dress socks. You'll probably spend around $900. IT IS WORTH IT!!!! There is a big d...

    I've been accepted into a CRNA program that offers an MNA degree. I still have 2 interviews lined up for other schools. One is a DNP and the other school is a MSNA. I might want to teach in the future and I see most CRNA teaching jobs require an MSN....

11. Use of cellphones while at work

    Nurse Cookie Swirl replied to givxnchy's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely follow policy. I got in trouble recently with my hair at work. I checked the employee handbook and made the change. I felt I was being treated unfairly by my manager but now that I know policy I can catch her! I'm not looking for things to...

    Nurse Cookie Swirl replied to Nurse Cookie Swirl's topic in Relations

    I did it! Kept some on top but I really like how the fade turned out. Hope they don't think it too fancy. Also got rid of my facial hair. I hope people like it. I sure do!

14. Unit Manager Demands I Cut My Hair

    So I just started at this ICU floor. Been here for around 6months. My hair hasn't changed the whole time I've been here. I regularly go to the barbershop, shower, take care of myself...always look presentable. Manager has been dropping hints to get a...
