Aesthetic Nursing?

I realize this is really not the proper forum, but I didn't see any other forum where it would fit within AN.

I see under specialty nursing, that a lot of specialties are listed, but Aesthetic Nursing is not. Is it not considered a specialty, but a subspeciatly of or, or office nursing maybe? :confused:

I like reading about all of the specialties and was just surprised to find that there was nothing for Aesthetics. I start school on Monday to become a LPN, and I realize that the answer to my question likely wouldn't even apply to me, since as near as I can tell, Cosmetic Surgeons want RNs. For myself, I'd like to work with Veterans, or Pediatrics. =-) (well, I'd prefer to work with babies... but not to sure about those parents! hehe) Standard Med-Surg also appeals to me as well, so I think I'd be happy just about anywhere. Well, anywhere but addictions, its an amazing specialty, but just not for me.

    Thank you for replying =-) My questions were: do cosmetic surgeons hire LPNs? What would they do at the office/ or even the OR? Is the pay scale the sameish or less than LPNs in LTC/Hospital settings? (I'd assume so) Basically, I'm interested in any information that would be offered!

    I never did persue this route. It might have been interesting, but I should look for information again for the sake of answering for the next person. In the end, I developed the sense that it was similar to any nursing position in a doctor's office, but with a bit more of a specialized skill set.

    NY BON regs do not permit LPN to perform facial injectables.

    Interesting, I had no idea, and I've tried to stay on top of all lpn reqs. I appreciate the answer, but it's an old topic. I asked the original question 9 years ago hehe
