Becoming an Esthetician
I’ve done many google searches, but I wanted to reach out here and see if I could get some feedback. I’ve been a nurse for 5 years now and I’m looking at moving into aesthetics. I’ve only been an ER nurse, so no current experience in plastics or derm. I’m wondering if I should look into completing the 750 hour esthetician course to become a licensed esthetician. Most job postings I’ve seen in my area are looking for experienced nurse injectors or NP’s with experience as well. My goal is to do facials, focus on skin care, but I’d be interested in microneedling, laser hair removal, etc. and maybe eventually Botox/fillers, but that is not my top priority. I see plenty of job postings looking for licensed Estheticians, so that’s why I’m thinking of completing the course. I figured that certification plus being a registered nurse would help me advance in this area. Thanks for any responses!
