How I obtained my Botox/Dermal Filler certificate

I am so happy that you said you were into hair prior to nursing and tied them together. This switch is both exciting and scary for me. So happy to see others have already taken the steps to become an aesthetic nurse and share with others.

[@phreshFNP]

It's so important to share with others! So many are information hoarders. It's quite sad! Check out my latest video, I address this topic. XOXO

Oh wow. This is really helpful. I just finished my course and we had live models but the mannequin is a plus because you have something to take home and continue to practice on. All i got was some damn print outs. I would have definitely paid 300 more for those

Oh no!!! The mannequin was so helpful! I still use it for training..

Hi MzAlamo. I just finished watching your video and I greatly appreciate all of the information you provided. I have just recently graduated with my BSN in Nursing and I have finally got my license in Nursing as well. My dream is to start my own business in the aesthetic/cosmetic field. I am located in Toronto, Canada and have been looking to take some courses to get the ball rolling. Do you have any tips for us newly graduate nurses who are looking to get into this amazing field? Thank you so much in advance.

[@phreshFNP]

Hello Erik! CONGRATS to you!! Welcome to the wonderful world of Nursing. Endless options. The most important tip I would give, personally, is to acquire some experience in acute care. It will definitely make you more well rounded when you encounter complications. Also, take tons of trainings in Aesthetics while you are learning acute care. That way when you feel like your ready, you will be more than prepared. Follow me on my insta, and feel free to DM me with questions you may have on your journey. Best of luck to you!! Xoxo 💜

[@marissalyn]

Would love to see more videos on this! Maybe like day in the life? How hard can the testing be? I’m looking into doing this because I can’t do a job where I stand for over 9 hours. Office jobs are great but I feel like I’m not going anywhere in my company. Thanks doll!💖

[@gracerichards3]

Hello Ms. April Alamo, congratulations! I have been wanting to transition into the world of Aesthetics for over 15 years now and stayed stuck in my job as an Associate Degree RN for over 15 years. Worked before as an LPN.Tried several times and finally started my BSN beginning of this year only to go on a leave of absence because of Covid. Getting older and would still love to do this. Do I need a BSN to do this and did you complete the course in required time? Have you gotten any live training/practice yet and how is it? Did you study facials, lasers, chemical peels? Please keep us informed. I am happy for you and wish you all the success. Your skin is beautiful.

[@phreshFNP]

Hello Grace! Thank you so much dear! I’m sending you love and well wishes. You can do it. So happy to hear your pursuing higher education. Stick with it and see it through. You don’t need a BSN in CA, which is where I am, but you have to have a supervising provider to inject. I have since started my business and have been injecting and I am so greatful that my dream is finally coming to fruition. I am getting ready to take a new training on laser hair removal to add to my repertoire. I will continue to add new trainings to enhance my skill set. I have new vids on my journey coming soon. Let me know if you have any more questions. Xoxo 💋

How is your hands on training going? What issues have you encountered?

Or rather.. how long did it take for you to become proficient and confident with injecting.

[@phreshFNP]

My training went great. Improved once I was able to find a collaborating MD who was proficient in aesthetics. It just come with volume.. the more you inject the more proficient you become.

[@phreshFNP]

That is contingent on the amount of volume you have doing your training. The more you have the more proficient you will be.

I’m debating on doing the 101 series first, then the facial mannequin course…or just going straight for the mannequin course. It’s a lot of money to do both, but I couldn’t tell if the mannequin course goes over all of the basics as well. Thank you!

That depends on what state you’re located in. I am currently in FL, and you can own a practice on your own, but need a collaborating physician to run it. Most states require a physician to run the business. Hope that makes sense.

Great video! I am a Registered Nurse in Dallas, TX. I work in the Women’s Health field but I have only been a nurse for a year now. I know Aesthetic Nursing is what I want to do. The market is so saturated in Dallas- I have applied to many jobs in Dermatology, Plastic Surgery, etc. and keep getting turned away because of my lack of experience (which is understandable). Do I need to wait to get my foot in the door at a Surgery Center, Dermatology Clinic etc. as a Nurse first to have experience- or go ahead and get my certification and training for Aesthetic Nursing right away? I am worried I will pay all this money out for training, get my Certification and not get hired because I don’t have experience in Aesthetics/Surgery? Let me know! Any advice is appreciated.

[@phreshFNP]

Thanks for visiting my channel! I say continue to get acute care experience. It will help you to become more rounded in assessment, especially once you get into aesthetics. There’s also many other skills sets you will learn and be able to apply to your practice. Once you have more experience, then start your injectables courses and start applying to MedSpa etc. Be patient and absorb all you can. You will get there! Grow your critical thinking skills in acute care first though. It will absolutely pay off in the long run. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. Xoxo ♥️

Hello! So yes, the course is difficult, but that works out in your favor, training you to be a thorough injector, as you can really cause harm if you don’t know your anatomy, and injection technique. I did the same thing as you.. but I took my time with the course and studied it just as hard as I do for my NP classes. You got this! Keep studying and you will pass! 😉
