Thanks so much for this video! I’m an travel Medical Assistant/CNA. I make 6 figures traveling with Acuity International and ACI Federal. I’m currently working towards my RN and then my Nurse Practitioner. I have hopes of starting my own Practice in Dermatology/Aesthetics. I really want to start attending Aesthetic/Dermatology seminars. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Hey! Small world because that’s exactly the plan I have in mind. Getting my CNA in April and did not know you can travel for that and can make 6 figures!! That’s amazing. Please let me know more info? Thank you! Also I’m working on my BSN-RN too and then NP And have my own practice!! Let me know your journey!

I agree with you 100%!!! I am a new grad in San Diego county and I’m quickly realizing how we are not truly compensated what we deserve as bedside nurses. I always knew aesthetic nursing was where I wanted to end up but I’m getting more and more anxious to finish up this one year as bedside nursing to move on to aesthetics. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve been doing a lot of research on becoming an aesthetics nurse and this is probably the most helpful and informative video I’ve come across. I’m not sure if you have a video up about your experience in your first year as an aesthetics nurse but I’d love to hear about it!
This was extremely helpful with pros and cons. I currently work bedside, have been blessed to be in the Union for 17 years and I would stop accruing in my pension if I left, plus insurance....those are very important details for me. thanks again!
This is a sign! I want to be an aesthetic nurse. I’m currently doing my pre reqs for nursing right now at the same school you attended. This was very informational!Thank you so much.
Yayyy! I am so happy! I am going to be hosting a class for those who want to get into this field! Head over to my IG because that is where I will be posting it this week to sign up :)

Hello! I'm new to your channel but I'm already hooked. I also left bedside nursing for the same reason and now I'm on the track of aesthetic nursing. Thank you so much for the content you create, it has been helping me out tremendously.
Thank you so much you are a better counselor than the ones at my campus ! I’m so scared but I always leave with tranquility after watching your YT VIDS. Bless you and your family 💟💟💟
Thank you so much for this! I w been in bedside here in Los Ángeles for 10 months and it’s just not for me. Like you said we go way beyond our pay rate and I’m looking to change it up. I e been applying to several aesthetic nurse positions hoping someone sees potential in me as I think it’s something I’m very passionate about. Thank you for the transparency ☺️❤️

I am planning on purchasing soon. I got a job offer for laser 35/hr +tips in a busy med spa. I’m excited but nervous for the different work environment. Going in to shadow before giving my two week notice. The owner was kind enough to offer me that. Also I invested in the books you mentioned and a course with the injectability clinic. Im so nervous to leave my stable bedside job, but I know we all have to start somewhere in aesthetics so I’m making the leap! Ty for your help!
I've been searching high and low for this information, esp in CA, and it's been so difficult to find concrete numbers. Thank you so much for this, instant follow!
@@hiddekelruiz634 it really varies from job to job plus different locations/states pay differently. you can kind of calculate it out based off my information..I work about 3-4 days a week at 8 hours a day, but some days are more busy than others so it varies so much. Also, I want to stress that probably 40% of my work is OUTSIDE of work that I technically don't get paid for.
Hi! I want to study aesthetics and become a Medical esthetician but I also would like to inject Botox and those types of things. My question is, can I inject if I do some type of training and being a medical esthetician or does being a Nurse it's the only way to inject?? Hope you can answer x
Thanks Nurse Janet, I’m an ex-UCLA nurse as well😂😂. And I might be interested in the field I’m looking more into it because I want the financial freedom and create my own schedule. I have a family and flexibility is key. Thank you so much for your insight and I will be watching more of your vids to learn more.
Hi Kim! ahh UCLA lol I am glad you are considering it. this list the great thing about nursing, we have SO MANY OPTIONS! best of luck and I am glad to help! if you have any videos you want me to do, let me know :)
I know you posted this years ago. But thank you so much! I’m in nursing school and I’ve been trying to figure out in aesthetics is the field I want to start in, or if I should transition to it. I’m still slightly unsure at the moment, but I think this video helped me lean towards going straight into it. Thank you!
Im soo glad you made this and even moreso that youre responsive to any questions and comments! A few things Im currently wondering about or struggling with that Im wondering if you (or anyone else reading this that would like to as well!) could help me with? 1.) Im currently a new grad MedSurg/Tele floor RN making $45.25/hr in Cali and I always wonder how this starting pay as an RN in Southern Cali (SGV area) compares to other hospitals? The reason why I ask is not due to ego or competitive reasons but I ask because I dont know whether other hospitals would pay better or whether Im in a good place that I shouldn't leave/let go of? 2.) The biggest biggest conflict and struggle for me that I havent yet been able to decide on for years is whether I should pursue my final career as an Aesthetics FNP versus as a CRNA. As a female, I am very worried about aging and beauty and Aesthetics seems appealing to me cause it seems less stressful than bedside and anesthesia (and I dont want to age significantly from too much stress overload) and its also fun to make other people look and feel beautiful. In addition I feel like Id also learn more about beauty and ways to preserve youth not only for my clients but for myself as well. As a CRNA, though, it seems really exciting to be part of such big time action in the OR (i first fell in love with the thrill when I stood in on an open heart surgery with the anesthesiologist) and I feel like itd be really fun to be a CRNA in the field of plastic surgery if they do hire CRNAs. Plus less amount of critical life-threatening cases/procedures which is a little less pressure. And, of course, we all look at pay as one of the factors in career choice right lol (its not everything of course but its still a factor :) ) and i dont know whether CRNA or Aesthetics FNP would end up being more pay, cause google (i know, dont always trust google lol which is kinda my point and why im unsure) research keeps on showing CRNA as much more, yet i have someone i know telling me about these people in aesthetics that he knows of that work or are in charge of medspas that make like tens of thousands a month and im like... is this guy foreal? Lol. Another factor is school... im currently almost done with my FNP masters program by the end of 2021, but if i decide to go CRNA i will have to transition into an ICU then after that do school all over again and Im already 32 this year and dont know if that will age me significantly in my last years of youth and whether it will be worth losing out on the last years of squeezing out everything i can in my final decade of being (kind of) still young since ive been balancing school and work my entire life already. Or if pursuing CRNA wont do that to me as much as im overthinking it and whether it will be so worth it. But then there's aesthetics. So im SUPER torn!!! Nd running out of time to decide :( 3.) In your video, are the two numbers you provided (how much you made as bedside vs aesthetics) Net or Gross? Thanks so much to whoever answers for reading my long text! Lol. It is greatly appreciated 🙏
Thank you for being transparent. I'm a veteran nurse- almost 18yrs at the bedside. If I make the jump to aesthetic nursing, will this hurt me or benefit me? I'm done with the bedside-but I feel like my experience in L&D, the autonomy I have there, as well as my experience circulating for C/S, and recovering patients and caring for them post op will have given me skills I can use to my benefit as aesthetic nurse. Thank you again for your insight and advice!
I watch this video over and over again. It makes me so happy and gives me hope! Were you nervous before you took the leap? And at what point did u decide it was time to do aesthetics?
Definitely nervous!! and I knew I wanted to do it three weeks in so I quit lol. I knew I needed to give it my all. it wasn't easy, but it gave me a push!
How and where did you get your esthetician license? How much clinical experience did you get before going on your own? I’m so over bedside nursing and I’m ready to have my own little business. 😩
PA here! These are the very reasons I left private practice derm where I did do some aesthetics as well as gen derm to accept a position at a university hospital
I make 100k travel nursing here in Atlanta, Ga and cosmetic spas are big here ! I’m looking to transition. I completely understand about getting the certificate and then it’s like now what ??
I’m an MRI Technologist who had loved aesthetics for years. I keep going back and forth on should I go back to school. Your video was so helpful. Im so worried about leaving my comfort salary as opposed to doing what I love. How did you find a place to train and hire you being new? That’s what I’m worried about.
Thank you thank you so much for posting this video! Can you talk about how you got into the field of aesthetics? I feel like it's so hard to get opportunities in the aesthetics field.
HI EVERYONE! MY VIRTUAL CLASSES ARE NOW LIVE! HEAD OVER TO MY IG BIO TO SIGN UP! I HOPE YOU ALL ARE READY TO EMBARK ON THIS JOURNEY TOGETHER AND LEARN! I CANNOT WAIT TO VIRTUALLY MEET YOU GUYS!
Nurse Janet! I’m obsess with you and everyone who works at the things we do! :-) I want to be a nurse injector. my question is, starting off with no experience what so ever in the industry, will starting off at like a med spa like ideal image give me a good learning experience? It will be a pay cut from a bedside job but I’m ready for the change just uncertain about the pay. Should I negotiate pay tho I have no experience? Thank you for all the insightful transparent advice ! Looking forward to hear and see more from you!
If I may ask, what is the average amount of gratuity that you receive or expect to receive from your regular follow up clients for Botox injection visits?
you can definitely ask! Thank you for being so polite! :) I don't accept gratuity because it is considered a medical procedure. Our prices are also higher because they pay for my expertise and knowledge. Very good question!
Very informative! You gave some good things to consider. Additionally I’m pretty sure that some other states don’t offer as good of health insurance as Cali hospitals.
Hi Lisa! That is a GREAT point! this is why I tell people "don't just watch my videos, read the comments! that is where this community has been built!" So thank you for sharing with us.
Can you talk about taxes for nurse injector? How much is the salary after taxes bedside vs nurse injector? Salary after your retirement and health care contribution. Thank you
HI! So it depends where you work on the pay, it is most likely an hourly plus bonus or something. The product gets paid for by the office you work at...nurses cannot buy product or even have an account with these companies without an MD.
@@MissMariahNicole The same thing applies for NPs because they are NURSE practitioners. They need an MD. The pay depends where you work. I can get paid more than a starting NP because of my experience.
Thank you for another good video. I have a better understanding of the schedule. So then do you make your own schedule and do you get your own room at the dr. Clinics and build your clientele on your own? Are you able to work from home or travel to peoples homes?
I make my schedule based on the needs of the places I worked..it is a joint effort. If you work at a doctors office and they rent you a room then I suppose you can mark your own schedule :) I know you can do the travel to homes, but you have to have separate insurance that covers that and a doctor to oversee.
HI GUYS! MY CONTENT CALENDAR IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR SALE ON ETSY. HERE IS THE LINK :) www.etsy.com/listing/1056993984/aesthetic-nurse-content-calendar-your?ref=shop_home_active_2 AS ALWAYS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUPPORTING ME
Hi Janet, thank you for so much information as I've been interested in aesthetic nursing. Is most of aesthetic nursing mainly doing injectables and botox? Or is there any skincare type stuff that goes on?
Hi Jamie! This is a great question! So when I started it was a lot of Injectables only but then I realized that skincare plays a huge role in it and I began learning about the skin itself. Now I encourage people to work somewhere where they encourage good skincare for patients because it makes a difference in outcome.
hi, can you please describe the early stages of training and what you were paid during that time? did you work two jobs, were you commission based, etc.
Hi!! Believe it or not, back then during training I was paid min wage :( lol I can't believe I agreed to that but I did becuase it was a starting point. But this was training as a laser hair removal nurse. Once I began aesthetics I had my hourly which I believe was around $24 an hour plus a bonus/commission for what I did. I worked two jobs for about 3 weeks then fully committed to aesthetics :) you can watch my How I Became an Aesthetic Nurse video and I kind of dive into all the details and my journey. Hope this helps :)
I have a question. If I want to get into this field do i need to also be certified as medical esthetician? Or being just a nurse will suffice? I did all the laser courses now I want I want to add injectable courses.
Thank you girl, did you get for associates or bachelors in nursing ?? When applying for an esthetic nurse did they take that into consideration at all.??
Hi Brookleyn! I did want to get my Bachelors because I believed I wanted to work in a hospital and hospitals nowadays really only hire those with Bachelors. Great question!
Hi Nurse Janet. I am currently a lash tech and permanent makeup artist. I do have an eye for art and don’t mind needles and blood. I want to consider become an RN but I have a problem with memorizing medical term words 😅 and honestly that’s the only thing that makes me not confident. Can you shine some light on this? TIA 🙏🏻
All your videos have been so helpful for me, I just graduated nursing school but in Mexico, I’m originally from Arizona and i will like to persue aesthetics in the US but honestly I don’t know where to start or how can I start because of that reason that I studied in Mexico, it will be really helpful if you have some recommendations. Thank you 🤍
Hey I have a question hope u get a chance to reply! Not sure if you covered this in any of ur videos I tried viewing a couple! How do I check the scope of practice for Registered Nurses in NY? For example in Cali I know its legal to do botox and fillers as an RN independently, but in NY I think its under a doctor only? Im not sure could you please help what resources I could use? Thank u hun!
Hi! you can check with your state board or check on AMSPA. they have some great information! I would start with your state board first! Also, in Cali we cannot practice independently even as a nurse practitioner. All practices who are legal have a MD as a medical director. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much for this video!! 🤍 I am not a nurse yet, but considering getting into nursing in order to do aesthetic nursing / dermatology and maybe start my own clinic later on (with my mom who is also a nurse, but not accredited in the US yet.)
Is it possible to get a job like this as a new grad nurse? I’m in nursing school and don’t have the option to do a career change and I’m very depressed thinking of doing nursing but aesthetic nursing interests me

Acute/bedside is a lot more dangerous though compared to nurse injector, less chance to get something unwanted, you are not a chicken without head compared to acute, more flexible. It’s just different..
HI, thanks for video . Im 44 yo and my motivation mind energy is so different and goimg back for an accelerated bsn is a huge decision and time commitment. I'm not sure and wondering how to determine if I really wants it. Im so confused and frustrated. I was prenursing as undergraduate and have all my prerequisites done and even after oer 15 years 2 schools accepting my prerequs. Cal state la has a 15 months program but my concern is the TEAS exam and they want 80% on each section huh.... I saw the hourly rate on indeed and it's around $35 to $50 per hour is this right or it can be more. I also noticed some estheticians make around there too without nursing school so I'm thinking of that too. appreciate any advice thanks
This is a great news for you! It sounds like the cards are aligning and you just need to decide the path. It is going to require some soul searching, but also some practical thinking. So the 80% on the TEAS is doable, definitely! I want you to get into the mindset of "If they can do it, why can't I?" This is going to be a driving force for you in all facets of life...I KNOW you can do it! An aesthetic nurse is different than an esthetician. An aesthetic nurse requires medical knowledge that only nursing school can provide so you will see, based on where you work you will get compensated for that. I don't know how to compare it to an esthetician who does facials because most estheticians I know have their own spot and take the full income but also have to pay for supplies and rent and etc. I would encourage you to know both fields make good money and you can make a good living. what will get you to succeed immensely is choosing the one you are most passionate about and really diving into that full force! the money just comes with it. I hope this helps!!!
Hello I was working in Dermatology And trained for Lasers and CoolSculpting many treatments. I am Medical Esthetician in Illinois. Finishing up some prerequisites for Associates in Nursing. Can I get hired in a Med spa or Derm with and associates degree!…
Hi I’m a junior in high school and I’m worried that I won’t be able to go into nursing 😭 I haven’t taken any AP science or health classes and I’m worried that college won’t take me because I heard that colleges want people that have taken AP classes in science or health I have good grades and I do take science classes but not AP ones just the regular ones . How hard will it be for me to get into nursing school?
Hi Jasmine! Girl you got this! Trust me! Nursing is not a one path thing..there are sooo many different ways to get into nursing and it is not only with AP classes. I would pick a nursing school or a few and look into their prerequisites. From there you have a checklist of classes you need to KILL in in order to get in :)
So for me I worked as a laser nurse then took a class and then began doing injections. Watch my video about how to be aa aesthetic registered nurse. I go into detail about my specific journey
Hi. Can you have your own practice as Aesthetic Nurse? How much will it cost to own one place if you have enough patient? I guess it could be possible right?

Another factor is school... im currently almost done with my FNP masters program by the end of 2021, but if i decide to go CRNA i will have to transition into an ICU then after that do school all over again and Im already 32 this year and dont know if that will age me significantly in my last years of youth and whether it will be worth losing out on the last years of squeezing out everything i can in my final decade of being (kind of) still young since ive been balancing school and work my entire life already. Or if pursuing CRNA wont do that to me as much as im overthinking it and whether it will be so worth it. But then there's aesthetics. So im SUPER torn!!! Nd running out of time to decide :(
3.) In your video, are the two numbers you provided (how much you made as bedside vs aesthetics) Net or Gross?
Thanks so much to whoever answers for reading my long text! Lol. It is greatly appreciated 🙏
Thank you for being transparent. I'm a veteran nurse- almost 18yrs at the bedside. If I make the jump to aesthetic nursing, will this hurt me or benefit me? I'm done with the bedside-but I feel like my experience in L&D, the autonomy I have there, as well as my experience circulating for C/S, and recovering patients and caring for them post op will have given me skills I can use to my benefit as aesthetic nurse. Thank you again for your insight and advice!
I don't think it will hurt you at all. Life begins at the end of our comfort zone
Working at a Plastic Surgeon's should help where you could do both the Post op care and the aesthetics as well
Love the transparency 🤍🤍
That’s what I love too. A Very special young lady
I watch this video over and over again. It makes me so happy and gives me hope! Were you nervous before you took the leap? And at what point did u decide it was time to do aesthetics?
Definitely nervous!! and I knew I wanted to do it three weeks in so I quit lol. I knew I needed to give it my all. it wasn't easy, but it gave me a push!
Regarding the aesthetic nurse salary - Were you paid hourly or were you paid a percentage of each procedure you performed?
Extremely helpful video!! Thank you for being transparent. Highly appreciated.
of course!!! :)
Great video. Lots of good info that I never considered.
Currently starting my nursing school journey ! Praying to be a np with an aesthetic practice 🥺🥺 thank you for all your tips !
How and where did you get your esthetician license? How much clinical experience did you get before going on your own? I’m so over bedside nursing and I’m ready to have my own little business. 😩
PA here! These are the very reasons I left private practice derm where I did do some aesthetics as well as gen derm to accept a position at a university hospital
Yessssss❤ I needed to hear this!
wow, the difference. Thats awesome! Congrats!!!
Thank you Chancie!
There are definitely some things that cost more on the status side but to me it’s worth it
Please Patrick! We need this loan forgiveness video 🙏
Yesss Patrick!! Lol
I make 100k travel nursing here in Atlanta, Ga and cosmetic spas are big here ! I’m looking to transition. I completely understand about getting the certificate and then it’s like now what ??
100k? Is that monthly?
Just found you today through this video! I’m looking to transition out of the military to this career field!
YASSSS!!!!
I’m an MRI Technologist who had loved aesthetics for years. I keep going back and forth on should I go back to school. Your video was so helpful. Im so worried about leaving my comfort salary as opposed to doing what I love. How did you find a place to train and hire you being new? That’s what I’m worried about.
I really loved this video so much! Thank you ☺️
Great content! Thank you Janet!!!
Thank you for this video!! So helpful☺️
my pleasure :) let me know if you want other videos!
You are so awesome for this
It had to be done! lol
Thank you thank you so much for posting this video! Can you talk about how you got into the field of aesthetics? I feel like it's so hard to get opportunities in the aesthetics field.
Hii!!
Check out my video how to become an aesthetic nurse :) I dive into my history!
@@NurseJanetG I went there right after posting this comment 🤦🏻♀️ thank you for getting back to me! You are amazing!
Thank you for this video!!
HI EVERYONE! MY VIRTUAL CLASSES ARE NOW LIVE! HEAD OVER TO MY IG BIO TO SIGN UP!
I HOPE YOU ALL ARE READY TO EMBARK ON THIS JOURNEY TOGETHER AND LEARN! I CANNOT WAIT TO VIRTUALLY MEET YOU GUYS!
YES PLEASE Patrick do a video on public loan service forgiveness
Already up :) he gets chatty but it helps!
Nurse Janet! I’m obsess with you and everyone who works at the things we do! :-) I want to be a nurse injector. my question is, starting off with no experience what so ever in the industry, will starting off at like a med spa like ideal image give me a good learning experience? It will be a pay cut from a bedside job but I’m ready for the change just uncertain about the pay. Should I negotiate pay tho I have no experience? Thank you for all the insightful transparent advice ! Looking forward to hear and see more from you!
If I may ask, what is the average amount of gratuity that you receive or expect to receive from your regular follow up clients for Botox injection visits?
you can definitely ask! Thank you for being so polite! :) I don't accept gratuity because it is considered a medical procedure. Our prices are also higher because they pay for my expertise and knowledge. Very good question!
Very informative! You gave some good things to consider. Additionally I’m pretty sure that some other states don’t offer as good of health insurance as Cali hospitals.
Hi Lisa! That is a GREAT point! this is why I tell people "don't just watch my videos, read the comments! that is where this community has been built!" So thank you for sharing with us.
Hi Nurse Janet G ! How many working hours did you put in on your first year as Aesthetics RN? Is it more or less than working as bedside RN ?
Thanks for you video. Would u say the salary for the aesthetics was based on equal hours at the bedside ? 24-32 hours a week that you mentioned?
Thank you for your video! I have a question, can you be an aesthetic nurse with an ADN?
Can you talk about taxes for nurse injector? How much is the salary after taxes bedside vs nurse injector? Salary after your retirement and health care contribution. Thank you
is aesthetics hourly plus commission? who pays for product? i’ve been wondering this i would really love to be in this field
HI! So it depends where you work on the pay, it is most likely an hourly plus bonus or something. The product gets paid for by the office you work at...nurses cannot buy product or even have an account with these companies without an MD.
@@NurseJanetG Ok thank you for responding! What about Np’s… ?
@@MissMariahNicole The same thing applies for NPs because they are NURSE practitioners. They need an MD. The pay depends where you work. I can get paid more than a starting NP because of my experience.
@@NurseJanetG glad NP’s will be able to open their own practices soon.
@@MissMariahNicole That is the hope!
Thank you for another good video. I have a better understanding of the schedule. So then do you make your own schedule and do you get your own room at the dr. Clinics and build your clientele on your own? Are you able to work from home or travel to peoples homes?
I make my schedule based on the needs of the places I worked..it is a joint effort. If you work at a doctors office and they rent you a room then I suppose you can mark your own schedule :) I know you can do the travel to homes, but you have to have separate insurance that covers that and a doctor to oversee.
HI GUYS! MY CONTENT CALENDAR IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR SALE ON ETSY. HERE IS THE LINK :)

AS ALWAYS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUPPORTING ME
I’m currently a licensed esthetician and do lashes and pmu but possibly want to get my rn to do aesthetics
Hi Janet, thank you for so much information as I've been interested in aesthetic nursing. Is most of aesthetic nursing mainly doing injectables and botox? Or is there any skincare type stuff that goes on?
Hi Jamie!
This is a great question! So when I started it was a lot of Injectables only but then I realized that skincare plays a huge role in it and I began learning about the skin itself.
Now I encourage people to work somewhere where they encourage good skincare for patients because it makes a difference in outcome.
hi, can you please describe the early stages of training and what you were paid during that time? did you work two jobs, were you commission based, etc.
Hi!! Believe it or not, back then during training I was paid min wage :( lol I can't believe I agreed to that but I did becuase it was a starting point. But this was training as a laser hair removal nurse. Once I began aesthetics I had my hourly which I believe was around $24 an hour plus a bonus/commission for what I did. I worked two jobs for about 3 weeks then fully committed to aesthetics :) you can watch my How I Became an Aesthetic Nurse video and I kind of dive into all the details and my journey. Hope this helps :)
I have a question. If I want to get into this field do i need to also be certified as medical esthetician? Or being just a nurse will suffice? I did all the laser courses now I want I want to add injectable courses.
hi! so in cali and most states, you have to be a registered nurse only.
Hi I’m new to your channel. I have a question, So, are you self employed or do you work alongside a doctor? I’m trying to become an aesthetic nurse
I’m adding this to my FAQ video I’m filming this week! Great ? !!!
Thank you!!!!! This was so helpful.
thank you sooo much :)
Hello, great video. What procedures do you/ your nurse colleagues do besides injections?
Not me watching this 5 months in and ready to quit bedside :')
Thank you girl, did you get for associates or bachelors in nursing ?? When applying for an esthetic nurse did they take that into consideration at all.??
Hi Brookleyn! I did want to get my Bachelors because I believed I wanted to work in a hospital and hospitals nowadays really only hire those with Bachelors. Great question!
Hi Nurse Janet. I am currently a lash tech and permanent makeup artist. I do have an eye for art and don’t mind needles and blood. I want to consider become an RN but I have a problem with memorizing medical term words 😅 and honestly that’s the only thing that makes me not confident. Can you shine some light on this? TIA 🙏🏻
When you took your RN classes, were you able to intern at a Dermatology office?
All your videos have been so helpful for me, I just graduated nursing school but in Mexico, I’m originally from Arizona and i will like to persue aesthetics in the US but honestly I don’t know where to start or how can I start because of that reason that I studied in Mexico, it will be really helpful if you have some recommendations. Thank you 🤍
U are incredible!❤️
:)
Hey I have a question hope u get a chance to reply! Not sure if you covered this in any of ur videos I tried viewing a couple! How do I check the scope of practice for Registered Nurses in NY? For example in Cali I know its legal to do botox and fillers as an RN independently, but in NY I think its under a doctor only? Im not sure could you please help what resources I could use? Thank u hun!
Hi! you can check with your state board or check on AMSPA. they have some great information! I would start with your state board first! Also, in Cali we cannot practice independently even as a nurse practitioner. All practices who are legal have a MD as a medical director. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much for this video!! 🤍 I am not a nurse yet, but considering getting into nursing in order to do aesthetic nursing / dermatology and maybe start my own clinic later on (with my mom who is also a nurse, but not accredited in the US yet.)
That sounds like so much fun!!!! Best of luck and keep me updated on your journey!
Is it possible to get a job like this as a new grad nurse? I’m in nursing school and don’t have the option to do a career change and I’m very depressed thinking of doing nursing but aesthetic nursing interests me
of course! you just need to be persistent and not give up. it isn't easy but it can happen!
Thank you for this!
What was you hourly rate as an aesthetic nurse? And did you get paid commissions?
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Praise you for this video
😘😘😘

Acute/bedside is a lot more dangerous though compared to nurse injector, less chance to get something unwanted, you are not a chicken without head compared to acute, more flexible. It’s just different..
it is, I DO think acute/bedside nurses should be getting paid a lot more. Too much work for pay that doesn't match IMO
Great video btw do you have long it takes to get your Bsn from Asn Thanks
this video was so helpful thank you
I am so glad to hear that!
Thoughts about community college??
HI, thanks for video . Im 44 yo and my motivation mind energy is so different and goimg back for an accelerated bsn is a huge decision and time commitment. I'm not sure and wondering how to determine if I really wants it. Im so confused and frustrated. I was prenursing as undergraduate and have all my prerequisites done and even after oer 15 years 2 schools accepting my prerequs. Cal state la has a 15 months program but my concern is the TEAS exam and they want 80% on each section huh.... I saw the hourly rate on indeed and it's around $35 to $50 per hour is this right or it can be more. I also noticed some estheticians make around there too without nursing school so I'm thinking of that too. appreciate any advice thanks
This is a great news for you! It sounds like the cards are aligning and you just need to decide the path. It is going to require some soul searching, but also some practical thinking. So the 80% on the TEAS is doable, definitely! I want you to get into the mindset of "If they can do it, why can't I?" This is going to be a driving force for you in all facets of life...I KNOW you can do it! An aesthetic nurse is different than an esthetician. An aesthetic nurse requires medical knowledge that only nursing school can provide so you will see, based on where you work you will get compensated for that. I don't know how to compare it to an esthetician who does facials because most estheticians I know have their own spot and take the full income but also have to pay for supplies and rent and etc. I would encourage you to know both fields make good money and you can make a good living. what will get you to succeed immensely is choosing the one you are most passionate about and really diving into that full force! the money just comes with it. I hope this helps!!!
Can you explain how you got started and what you would recommend if you don’t have experience?
Check out “how to grow your aesthetic portfolio”..lots of tips in their for newbies!
Boss babe ✨✨✨✨✨
Love your support ❤️❤️❤️
Very good video, thank you.🤔🙂
Thank you so much for this video! Very helpful! What about doing aesthetic nursing part time while doing beside full-time?
I think it is doable, but aesthetics takes up a lot of time, especially when it comes to building your clientele
Do you have to have your BSN or is an ADN okay?
Hello I was working in Dermatology And trained for Lasers and CoolSculpting many treatments. I am Medical Esthetician in Illinois. Finishing up some prerequisites for Associates in Nursing. Can I get hired in a Med spa or Derm with and associates degree!…
of course you can! :) it all depends on what their requirements are when they hire. KEEP IT UP!! great experience :)
The benefit issue is the same for any NP going on his/her own
It is soooo difficult because health insurance is a must!
Hi I’m a junior in high school and I’m worried that I won’t be able to go into nursing 😭 I haven’t taken any AP science or health classes and I’m worried that college won’t take me because I heard that colleges want people that have taken AP classes in science or health I have good grades and I do take science classes but not AP ones just the regular ones . How hard will it be for me to get into nursing school?
Hi Jasmine! Girl you got this! Trust me! Nursing is not a one path thing..there are sooo many different ways to get into nursing and it is not only with AP classes. I would pick a nursing school or a few and look into their prerequisites. From there you have a checklist of classes you need to KILL in in order to get in :)
Would it be beneficial to get your APRN degree?
Cali nurses make sooo much bedside 😲
Lol Cali living (esp Los Angeles) ain’t cheap
100% - but comes with Cali taxes too 😩
Hi RPN can work as a aesthetic nurse??
Did u take any classes before going into aesthetics?
So for me I worked as a laser nurse then took a class and then began doing injections. Watch my video about how to be aa aesthetic registered nurse. I go into detail about my specific journey
150k in loans?! 🤯🤯🤯oh nooooooo
It's robbery.
Hi. Can you have your own practice as Aesthetic Nurse? How much will it cost to own one place if you have enough patient? I guess it could be possible right?
hi it depends on your state!
