RN student needs advice from Cosmetic/Plastic Surg, Derma Nurses

[rnintwo]

Hi! Im a 1st year student in a 2yr RN program and my dream job is to work in a plastic/cosmetic surgeons office, 2nd choice a dermatologists office.

How feesable is it to get this kind of office job when I graduate? (also consider the fact that I am currently a state licensed Esthetician)

Do you recommend I do anything in the meantime (while Im in school) to be more employable?, ex..certs

I am wanting to get a job during the summer....what kind of job would look good on my resume w/this goal in mind? I wont have my RN yet during summer but Ill be CNA certified.

What is the starting salary for an RN in a plastic surgeons office? Dermatologists office?

What are the hours like?

THANKS!

I apologize because I am not able to answer all of your questions. But first off congratulations on knowing the specific area you would like to work in. Most Cosmetic/ Plastic Surgery RNs are expected to have at least some Med Surg and its a big plus if you have OR experience. It benefits you as a student to volunteer within hospitals or clinics, and since you will be able to work as a CNA (congrats) if you can really build relationships and gain skills within the med surg or OR areas that will benefit you.
