Aesthetic Nursing

That is great advice for the future. Do you mind telling me how you got your experience for the injections? I am going to take a class and a plastc surgeon may let me get experience under him, but if he doesn't then what?

Hi Valerie,

After I did some training I just started right in injecting. When I train people I tell them they have to start using what they learned right away or you can forget it - especially when you first get started. Hopefully your class lets you inject alot. Alot of the trainings have you inject 1 person - you don't really learn that much - especially if you are just watching someone else do it. When I train we do didactic for 2-3 hours & then if we are doing Botox & fillers, the person injects for the next 11/2 days. They typically will inject 10-12 people during this time. This is the only way to really get the feel for it. As you know everyone is so different & when it comes to Botox it helps to see alot of different people with different muscle configurations & facial differences.

I still go to seminars if I think it will give me any new pearls for what I do. This week in Vegas I talked to alot of other RNs & saw live injections by some Drs. It was great to see how other people do things & get new ideas.

Let me know how else I can help you & good luck with your training. By the way - do you mind telling me who it is thru?

Hi Thanks for more info again. Where are you?
I decided to go through Medical Aesthetic Traing of CA.
I also looked into Esthetic Skin Institute from FL they also have classes in CA.

Hi Valerie,

I am in the Kansas City area. I haven't heard of either of thoses programs - but hopefully they will be great & you can learn alot. I am assuming you are in CA? I know this business is big out there so I hope you can do well!

Hi BotoxRN

I live in Oklahoma and want to get trained in fillers and botox. Is there anyone in oklahoma or kansas/missouri who will train?

Do you have any samples of physician collaborative agreements, or do you use one for your medical director?

Thanks

Hi,
This isn't Botox RN, but The Esthetic Skin Institute has workshops around the country. www.esiw.com or 866-463-6881.
Just Google botox training for your state.
Good Luck, Valerie
