Arkrn

Hello to everyone. I have always enjoyed this site, and learning from the postings of fellow nurses. Now, however, I find myself in the position to stand on the other side and respectfully request any input from any and all of you concerning an issue that is very important to me. I have been an RN since 1985......and also flew as a Flight Attendant. Five years ago, I was diagnosed with a rather annoying case of metastatic bone cancer. I was given sort of poor prognosis (6 months or less).....yet.....after chemo, radiation, and some surgery....I am doing fine. As still on maintainece chemo once a month. Either I am truly blessed......or some sort of alien.......or both. I do not divulge this for any pity.....as I am very joyful and do not really wish for any. At any rate, I had to leave my flying career, and have returned to nursing part time. Currently working for a hospice PRN.....and doing some research for a group of attorneys here in Little Rock. However, the field of aesthetic nursing has really caught my eye (and man...did that ever hurt ) I requiired some facial reconstruction, and the dermal fillers available today have been a godsend. I have looked into several courses that offer such training.....and am leaning towards the Aesthetic Enhancement Institute. The tuition is around $3,500 for dermal filler instruction.....which would take the majority of my savings. However, I personally feel I would enjoy this type of work.........and am excited at the possibility of pursuing it. My questions are 1) Is it truly possible to earn a decent living working in the profession, 2) How does one go about getting a medical director to work under, 3) Are there any former students of the Aesthetic Enhancement Institute....and if so....how do you rate the training and are you in the field currently?, and 4) I do not wish to open up my own shop.....but work contract with the several skin clinics locally. Well.....for those of you who have not dozed off by now because of my long-winded missive. any opinion of assistance you could provide will be very much appreciated. Thank you, and my very best to you all..
