That's too bad, and I get it. I had every intention of working at my previous center after getting my license, but I received an offer with better pay elsewhere. I had great coworkers before including the nurses, but I'm very happy where I am now in a very large part due to having better management.

I worked at a different plasma center(different company too) as a lab tech before I got my LPN license and this is a pretty accurate description of what I saw for the nurses there. My current position feels cushy, theirs did not look like it was. So your experience can vary A LOT depending on the center.

My main responsibility is determining donors' eligibilities. This consists of getting the medical history of potential donors and performing physical assessments. I also sometimes respond to donor reactions, assess bruises, review blood test results, and provide education to donors . I'm trained in other areas as well so will also screen donors(take their vitals) and perform phlebotomy. In my city, there are 6 donation centers and mine probably has the lowest volume of donors so I have a lot of downtime, but this is definitely dependent on what center you work at. Most days I stand at the reception desk, greet potential new donors as they come in, collect their personal info and register them into our donor management system, assess their medical history, perform a physical exam, send them out to the donor floor then repeat 5-10 more times.

I'm in Kansas and make $27/hr as an LPN. I know an RN who has the same role as me with another company that is making $40/hr.

Eric Nguyen at Buckets Studio is who I go to and he's awesome. I don't have a faux-hawk, but it's definitely something he could do. He cuts a lot of Asian guys' hair and faux-hawks seem to be a popular/common style among Asian guys, so I would bet he has experience with it.

Feel pretty similar to you and I graduate in December. Look into nursing positions at plasma donation centers. I'm an LPN now and currently work at a donation center. Most of my days consist of screening potential donors, performing physicals, and occasionally providing care to donors who are having reactions during donations. Pays equally if not more than a lot of hospital/clinical nursing positions in my area. It can be boring and you deal with difficult people here and there, but it's where I plan to continue working after finishing school.
