I have looked at job postings in FL and have read that nurses are paid both salary and commission. I am trying to meet with NPs or aesthetic nurses who are willing to educate me on their journey, but no one has been willing to give me their time unfortunately.

Hi all, I am in my senior year of RN-BSN school in NJ. I have plans to move to Tampa FL when I graduate in May. My dream is to do aesthetic nursing. I currently have my cosmetology license as well. I am interested in microdermabrasion, laser hair removal, Botox injections, platelet rich plasma therapy, vampire facials, laser removal of spider veins, and so forth. I am looking for advice, on the route to take to practice aesthetic nursing. I am going to apply for Nurse Practitioner school in October for the Dermatology program in FL. However, the program for out of state students is very expensive - $78,000. I was reading some forums where RN-BSNs perform nurse aesthetics, and that their pay can be comparable to a Nurse Practitioner. My question is, is it worth paying the 78 grand to become an NP in Dermatology if all I am interested in is Nurse Aesthetics and skin care? Is the pay of an RN-BSN who performs nurse aesthetics comparable to a NP of nurse aesthetics? Should I just get my masters and get additional schooling in aesthetics? Is there a NP aesthetic school, or is Dermatology NP the correct program to enter? Should I take my nclex in FL? Or can I take it in NJ and then transfer my license to FL? Thanks in advance!
