Thank you for your input. I was afraid of that, basically nothing black and white to go from. I am passionate about this field and hopefully I will land something that I am satisfied with. Thanks again! I have sought out the first place I am going to start and the funny thing is that it is a medical spa owned by a plastic surgeon that also does sx there. So, hmmm...I wonder what the pay is there?? I will update.

Hi again! I am now officially an LPN. I am getting prepared to begin finding places to interview. I want to work for a plastic surgeon/medical spa type of facility. I am wondering if anyone can offer me some advice about what type of pay to expect in this field?? I don't want to jump at the first offer I get and end up being underpaid. I have done that enough in my life!! I am going to be looking for work in either Michigan or more likely probably Ohio (Toledo). Also being an LPN, what would my job duties be in this line of work?? Any info would be great thanks!!

I live right around Michigan/Ohio border. I am planning on getting dual licensed as an LPN, and am also going to be dual licensed as an esthetician (which I am currently licensed in just MI). I was wondering what my limitations are as an LPN. I wasn't sure if I was able to do injections? My perfect job would be to find a plastic surgeon to work for that had own practice where I could do nursing duties, and aesthetic medical procedures that I could not do just being an esthetician, but also doing your typical facial, hands on therapy, peels. I am basically open to whatever I can legally do. I love learning about skin care. It seems to be a gray area, when trying to find out what I can do and what a physician would have me doing if hired. Then I am also wondering what the pay would be like, or if it would be commision while doing facials, hourly if I was doing more nursing type duties. Sorry, I know this is a lot of questions, but you seem very knowledgable. Thanks in advance!!

I am finishing up LPN school and will graduate at the end of June. I am currently an esthetician and wanted to get into aesthetic nursing. I have not run into anyone in the area that I live in to find ANYTHING out about this field. I am wondering what the job duties would be and what I will be limited in doing being an LPN. ANY INFO WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!! Thanks!

I am currently an esthetician and decided to go to nursing school once I realized I was interested in doing the more medical procedures in the medical spa that I was working at. I will be graduating at the end of June and am kind of wondering what is out there, as you are. But, I thought it is regulated state to state as far as what you can do being a nurse and what you can do as an esthetician. I know that being an esthetician, my license is under cosmetology. I wouldn't think that you are too late with the whole laser job. My friend who is an RN worked for American Laser, they paid to train her (airfare and all), but she didn't make what a laser tech made (and she wasn't even medically trained!). So, I think it depends where you work too. Let me know what you find out. Good Luck :)
