Male nurse in injectible/botox

Published

Hello fellow nurses and nurses to be, I have been a nurse for about 4 years and an RN for just a year in ortho rehab. I am interested in getting into injectables and Botox in the Dallas/Plano market. I plan to open up a medical spa someday after I finish my MSN. My question is are there any guys out there doing this?

Is it a challenge for men to work in this part of nursing and how to patients receive this?

How do I break into this line of work? (I`m currently in orthopedic rehab).

I am comfortable with needles and have a background in sales and communication for years. Any job openings or ideas would be much appreciated.

My perception is that males are less detail oriented when it comes to beauty and that females are more judgemental and aware of "flaws". Considering that, I'd probably be more comfortable with a male if I decided to mutilate my face with injectables ...assuming all else is equal. I agree with the person who said charm and likeability are important for this line of work, and I think that's true for either sex.
