Aesthetic Nursing?

Specialties Aesthetics

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.

What questions do you have on Aesthetic nursing?

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
