Aesthetic RN or NP

Hello

I am in southern CA and have my MSN in education but eager to start a career in aesthetic. 

is it worth getting my NP (another 3-4 years) for this field or should I stick with my MSN (NON-NP) and train and earn certificates in aesthetic procedures? (I'm 41)

 

is there a big salary difference? does being one over the other affect owning my own practice?

any advise or experience appreciated!

    Npsa make Significantly more. Look at the salaries for Rns and Nps on your counties site. It's public info.

    Hello,

    Those are good questions! What type of NP are you thinking of going into? There are many out there! 

    If you want a general overview of the two professions, feel free to review our AllNurses Articles on:

    I was also wondering if it would actually take you another 3-4 years to obtain your NP degree? I've met quite a few nurses that did their MSN, or were in the process of completing their MSN that were able to get into NP school and transfer some of their credits for courses they took to the NP Program so they didn't need to take as many courses, and the degree took them 2 years. Best of luck!

    You should look at post-grad NP certification.  if you already have an MSN I have heard its just 1-2 years
