Re: Aesthetics Nursing
OK, from one Florida nurse who's seen what the BON can do to an RN's career who was injecting illegally....
DON'T DO IT! They are NOT playing about that mess!
One of the aesthetic clinics around here had an RN who got busted twice for doing this. She was better at it than the docs...fabulous results. But she was doing it illegally.
She narrowly escaped jail time, and no, I am not kidding.
It *does* bother me that at the end of my CRNA training, I will be licensed to do epidurals, spinals, and all manners of peripheral nerve blocks. I know how to go in and pick up all the cervical and brachial plexus nerves for an interscalene block and play dangerously close to the apex of the lungs.
Yet my good friend, who owns her own aesthetic spa/massage studio, wants me to come in and do injections under the auspices of the medical director who currently covers her for her microderm and permanent cosmetics. I'm plenty competent - I can draw you the mechanism of Botox's action at the neuromuscular junction at an organic chemical level, and know how to apply that knowledge.
But it's illegal for me to do.
We are going to do laser hair removal, though.
ARNP's *can* do that, in Florida.
