BotoxRN

Hi VanNuysRN, The one male RN injector I know of is in LA. His name is Rand Rusher and there was a reality show last year on LOGO TV called "Pretty Hurts". I loved the show but don't know if it will be on this summer again. He is an awesome injector ...

Hi dsquard, Sent you a pm. If you don't get it let me know.

Botox works great. I'm a RN injector and I do this all the time. You will probably have compensatory sweating elsewhere but all of my patients don't care. It looks like in the future there will be a topical Botox for hyperhydrosis so people won't hav...

As a RN you can't buy those products. They can only be ordered by a DR. These are considered drugs so if you are on your own you need a medical director. I don't the laws in NY but where I live I have to have my doc 5 minutes or 5 miles away. He's ac...

You are right that each state is different. As far as lasers are concerned there are so many of them out there that getting trained on one will only help if that is the one you're working with. If you get on at a place they can train you or they may...

Hi everyone. I have been in the business for over 11 years in KS. I have worked in two places before I went out on my own 3 years ago. I have been paid hourly, hourly + commission and full commission. Every place is different in what they pay. I belo...

Hi, Sent you a private message-if you don't get it let me know!

Hi Aprilr, I have been in aesthetics almost 8 years. When I first started it was hard finding programs to get trained. I can't even really remember how I first got trained. I do remember my first pt was a Dr. I called on when I was a rep & I was ...

Hi NurseinNOLA, I emailed you privately with my personal email & didn't know if you got it. If you still want to talk let me know. I will be in LA the week of Sept. 14th & would love to talk with you.

Hi PJ, Depending on what kind of Drs. they are you should be covered under them. This is the bad part about being an IC. NSO won't cover you if aren't a W2 employee & doing aesthetics. I can have coverage in my office because I worked out with...

Hi Valerie, I am in the Kansas City area. I haven't heard of either of thoses programs - but hopefully they will be great & you can learn alot. I am assuming you are in CA? I know this business is big out there so I hope you can do well!

Hi PJ, Alot of Drs. think that getting into this business is going to make them alot of $$$. It takes alot of $ to get started & getting patients can take alot of time. The better thing for them might be to start a side business but continue in...

Hi Valerie, After I did some training I just started right in injecting. When I train people I tell them they have to start using what they learned right away or you can forget it - especially when you first get started. Hopefully your class lets yo...

Hi injector1, Just got back from Vegas this afternoon from an aesthetic meeting. It was awesome as usual. Most of the people who go are RNs or aestheticians that work for plastics. I learn so much & it is great talking to other people who do th...

Hi Pj, You should be able to call the Board of Nursing. In KS & MO you don't have to be an RN, but I have heard they are getting ready to change that:yeah:

Hi diveprn, Sorry I didn't realize you were an IC. What I worked out with my main office was for them to pay me $1000/mo so it would generate a W2. ( I think that anything over $5000/yr. will generate a W2). Then I write them a check for $1000 from ...

Hi PJ, In regards to Dr.s training you, some might but in my experience alot of them aren't that great & could use some help themselves! Alot of derms & plastics don't let their RNs do any of the injections. I am a national trainer & I ...

Hi DivePRN, As far as insurance, I have had the same problem but I do know that NSO will cover you if you are a W-2 employee. They ask if you do aesthetics if you say you're independent, but don't if you say you're W-2. I found another place on thi...

Hi tansy0175, I have been in aesthetics for almost 8 years. If they want you learn they should be willing to pay for your training. I go to meetings & the pay ranges from salary to salary plus commision to 100% commsion. I live in Kansas &...

Hi pinkturesque, I have been in the aesthetic biz for almost 8 years now & love it. I didn't do nursing but 6 months & then was a pharma rep for a few years. I got into aesthetics by accident. You might look into getting a job with a derm ...

Hi injector1, I just got back from working with a Dr. in Louisiana & saw about 70 patients in 3 days! I made more money in 3 three days than I would have in 2 months working at my old place. I am scheduling set times with all of my Drs. but the...

Hi, Just found this site & can't believe the number of different threads there are. Hopefully you will get this. I just started doing independent contracting. I have been an injector for over seven years & am a national trainer & decided ...

Hi April & everyone, I just found this site & was excited to find someplace to talk with others about this field. I have been in aesthetics for over seven years. There are different laws in each state. I live in Kansas & here & Missou...
