Aesthetics Nursing

Published

Hi all--

I am really interested in the medical aesthetics thing--botox, stuff like that. Anybody know where I can get trained? I live in Colorado, by the way.

THANKS :p

I have noted in my Nurseweek mag (and similar publications) companies that train nurses to do this...check http://www.nurseweek.com classifieds and I'll bet you find them there too. I'll pm you some to avoid any inadvertent TOS violation.

Good luck...I'm currently looking for a PICC line training course. Fun to think of opportunities outside the traditional nurses' bedside role isn't it? :)

I'm enjoying perusing the nurse entrepeneur forum. :)

Specializes in CVICU,PACU.

I am also interested in this, but, concerned about covering me. In the state of Florida, you have to be under the medical direction of an MD on site. I guess a nurse could fall under the MD's license, but if anything went wrong, would the MD really cover you?

I also was trained by Sasha Parker.....I attended the Botox and dermal filler classes. She was wonderful and I liked how she also focused on the legal and business aspects of these areas in addition to the actual skills. Over the past year I have followed her business model....becoming incorporated, writing standards of practice, protocols,standing orders, getting a business liscense---the works. What has proven to be the most difficult part is getting a physician "medical director" to basically be available telephonically and sign off the charts after I do all the work. It's not that these physicans are not interested...they really are quite agreeable to work as a subcontractor for me ( RN,BSN)......it's the . It is CRAZY expensive for them and they understandably do not want to work without it despite the fact that Botox is very low risk with no PERMANENT side effects. I was wondering if you knew of a Malpractice carrier that would insure a Botox trained physician for a reasonable rate.....I'm ready to slit my wirsts here.

Specializes in Gyn, dermatology, aesthetics, wellness.

New nurse here. I am interested in aesthetics also. I went to their site, but can't find out how much it costs. Can anybody give me a ballpark range? Also, I am interested in dermatology nursing but don't know much about it althought I do transcription on the side for a dermatologist. Do any dermatologists do aesthetic things such as facial peels in their office? I don't think my dermatologist does. Thanks.

hi everyone it seems that you all have questions that i can answer. first of all in colorado my state it is within scope of practice to do perm makeup and microderm with out a physician. that is why i have 2 offices with no headaches. i offer training in these fields. i have been doing procedures since 1993 and teaching for 2 years now. insurance for those of you already doing aesthetics should contact marineagency.com and speak to marylynn at x 15. my students receive 10% off malpractice rates. if anyone has any specific questions let me know i love to share info that sometimes seems hard to find.

sincerly,steph

I am critical care nurse and have always been extremely interested in cosmetic surgery. I would like to make the transition from critical care to become an aesthetic nurse, and need to know the best way to do this. I have found teaching clinics but don't know which ones are worth the money or if I should try to get employeed by a cosmetic surgeon and let him send me to the classes. Any advice from someone with experience in this field of work?
