How To Become A Nurse Injector in Canada - FASTEST WAY

[@bri8412]

I graduate from the RPN program in 1 year from now and I keep watching videos like this to keep me motivated bc all I wanna do is cosmetic nursing. Im so so excited!!!

[@sheenaleclaire3517]

Did you get into the cosmetic field in the end? I’m looking at joining.

[@99avilyssa]

This is the best video on how to be an injector!! I’m an ER nurse for 12yrs now looking to be an aesthetics nurse by the new year. Part time if anything. Most of the injectors I know got on the job training. Which I’m having a hard time doing looking for someone to shadow but a coworker of mine is going your route so I’ll probably be doing my injections there until maybe I open a spa some day. Who know thanks for the info

[@christiiee25]

Hi Nada thanks for the informative video! I really admire your journey in the business and I hope it will turn out the same for me. I am an RPN currently doing bedside and will be taking the botox and fillers foundations course next month. I have some questions, hoping you could help me out... 1. What are the steps to opening up your own clinic? Was it expensive? Did you start small and eventually upgraded to a larger clinic? 2. Is it expensive to hire a medical director MD or NP as a contractor? How much? 3. Salary of a nurse injector employed in a clinic VS. nurse injector owning a clinic? 4. How did you get hands on experience after graduating the 2 day course? I know we cannot order product until we have an MD to open an account. 5. Where do you order all your products such as syringes/botox/fillers? Im sorry its long, im so new to the industry and would really appreciate your feedback!

Hi nada,I’m an experienced Rn who wants to open a home based injection business,I’m starting my coarse Oct 28 My question is does my medical director have to see the client for the first treat of each new type of infection Botox/ filler And can it only be once per year or each time via zoom? Also do they have to have the coarse. Th

Thanks for the video! Do you have any recommendations for free online resources??

[@mariatayag7467]

Hi Nada, thank you for this amazing video, very informative and love that you went on your own. If places don't hire without experience, how can we get the practice and experience? Thank you in advance

[@RebecaArellano]

This helped me so much, thank god I found this video!!! Now I am sure on what school I am gonna go and I feel like I learned a lot! Thanks sooo much 💕

[@nadathenurseinjector]

So happy to hear that! 💙

Can I work in my home to do some treatments, like botox and some more injections?

[@janiceangel1997]

This was super helpful! Looking forward to more content like this!!

[@jacqfat]

Hey Nada, thanks for sharing this content! I'm an RN and I'm in the process of creating a business plan to submit for a bank loan to start my medi spa biz and would appreciate some insights. What are the typical startup costs for launching a small medi spa focused on Botox, fillers, skin boosters, and polynucleotides? I'm planning to rent a small room or space within a beauty salon. I'd love to hear your advice. Thanks so much!

[@BeautyTipsAndTreats]

Hi! How about an Esthetician but not a nurse and took phlebotomy training who wants to be an Injector, Is that possible?

[@nadathenurseinjector]

Hello, In Ontario aestheticians cannot administer cosmetic injection. Hope this helps!

[@jabravo3432]

Thank you so much! Very helpful:) how do you go about finding a medical director once you open your own clinic/practice?

[@nadathenurseinjector]

That’s a difficult one for sure! Word of mouth, finding cosmetic physicians and NPs in the area using google and reaching out to them, even reaching out to local injectors and finding out who their MD is works (majority of MDs have many nurses), also often the injection school will have a small program where they’re connect injectors and MDs.

[@tassiagerald4979]

Would love an update video ❤

[@lohasko1023]

Thank you for your comment. Can you open your clinic by yourself? Or under supervisor?

[@nadathenurseinjector]

You can open by yourself and sign on a medical director

[@amyvalles5417]

Hi! When you did your course did you have to find your own models or did the company provide ?

[@rosetoronto1176]

Hi beautiful I am exciting to enter and start my course but I am afraid of my bad English!!! What do u think nada?

[@shulammiteemonena-omogeroh6337]

Hi Nada, would you welcome a nurse shadowing you for a day or two, to experience what it is like working in the industry? I would love to have that opportunity!

Hi Nada , I’m neelu trained Injector about to set up my own clinic . If you can guide me what kind of insurance I have to buy ? Thanks

[@gaganpreetkaurkambo6146]

Hey Nada, I am currently working as a RPN and looking forward to become a cosmetic nurse and this video is quiet informative. Can you please help me to know that which training should I choose for over all Dermal fillers, as there are many at APT training Centre which is in Oakville or which one would you prefer for me to do if I am looking to work by my own?

[@nadathenurseinjector]

I would start with the basic toxin course and the basic filler course. Over time you can do the others. In the description of the courses it does inform you about the course and if it’s the right fit. You can also call them and ask.

[@laurenm7898]

Hey Nada, I’m currently in my second year of nursing school in Ontario and wondering if there’s anyway to do training earlier? Or do you have to be a registered nurse before completing any courses?

[@nadathenurseinjector]

Hi! Most courses require you to have your license first, especially if you’ll be doing hands on practice. That said, most of your growth as an injector will come from taking initiative and learning on your own so always a good idea to get a head start on that. Just understanding detailed facial anatomy and physiology alone with put in a great position.

[@jacinthep953]

Thank you for that video! Really good information and exactly what i was looking for :) do you know if there is a big difference in salary between RPN and RNs as cosmetic nurse?

[@nadathenurseinjector]

Thank you! There is none whatsoever in the cosmetic world.

[@maureenkonrad]

HI!! Im in BC any recommendations? for schools in BC

[@krismartin5556]

hi nada how did you get hold of pharmaceutical companies that can help you in getting more training?

[@jennifermino7262]

Hi Nada, such a helpful channel! Thank you so much for sharing. Would you mind sharing how you got in touch with pharmaceuticals for additional webinars? Or was this done once you established your business with a medical director and they had opened an account?

[@nadathenurseinjector]

Exactly what you mentioned. Once an account is opened then you automatically have access to a lot of educational resources provided by the companies.

[@andresgomez1545]

Hi, how do you go about having someone to prescribe, especially if you do end up opening your own practice?

[@nadathenurseinjector]

Hi! You just have to find aesthetic doctors or NPs near you. Sometimes the injection training school can connect you with some, or just finding them online. Most of these prescribers have many nurses they prescribe for and are always looking for more nurses to be medical directors for. It’s important to network in this industry!

[@rubyardiles01]

@@nadathenurseinjector I am confused on how this process works, I've done research for days trying to find how medical directors are allowed to prescribe in ontario but I have not had much luck on the internet. I would really appreciate if you could answer these specific questions: Does the medical director have to work in your medi spa to be able to prescribe? do you need the MD to do the consultation with patient before prescribing? if they dont need to be present for your practice to operate and they dont need to do the initial consultation, how do you get the orders? do they sign the directive for the services done in that day at the end of the day? or are you requesting the directives to be signed as the services are done? TIA

[@nadathenurseinjector]

@@rubyardiles01 So you would hire the medical director as a contractor basically for your clinic. They don’t have to be there in person. I know some nurses who have never even met their medical director in person. Some medical directors will not require you to consult them for patients and just give you the directive. Some will see your clients quickly via FaceTime or Skype to clear them for the procedure. Some medical directors just sign your charts after the fact + medical directive (basically your order) others will do the consult and sign it and that’s it.

[@rubyardiles01]

@@nadathenurseinjector thank you so much! So it’s basically at the MD discretion what they want to do. Ugh that was so easy I don’t know why it’s so hard to find this type of info. Thanks again!

[@nadathenurseinjector]

@@rubyardiles01 Exactly why I made the video! So many things in this industry are not Google-able for whatever reason lol I couldn’t find anything when I started too!

[@alysonrose5561]

Can we order and purchase the botox ourselves for our clinic as an RN/RPN or does the NP or Doctor have to order it?

[@nadathenurseinjector]

You can order yourself. NP/MD just has to open an account for you initially, that’s it.

[@mindfullnessbaddie6558]

Hey I’m in Hamilton, On in college for practical nursing I have read that u need insurance to practice how do you go about that? Thanks so much for your info

[@nadathenurseinjector]

The nursing associations have coverage. You can go on the WeRPN website.

[@BeautyTipsAndTreats]

Hi! Do I need to be Nurse to be an Injector? Thank you so much. 🙏🏻

[@nadathenurseinjector]

Hey! You need to be able to administer medication so a nurse, doctor, or dentist etc.

[@sheenaleclaire3517]

Good information

[@909victoria]

Thank you for the video, Nada it was so informative. I thought RN/RPN's needed to be supervised by either an NP or physician so would one be able to get independent experience injecting as you say? Or is that exactly what you mean?

[@nadathenurseinjector]

That is what I mean! Injecting independently but having a MD/NP act as a medical director that may not even ever be on site.

[@909victoria]

@@nadathenurseinjector thanks!

[@stephaniel1602]

Hi Nada, Thank you for this video. Can pharmaceutical reps help you order your product? Or you still need a doctor to do it?

[@nadathenurseinjector]

No problem! Your medical director would open the account. Then from then on you just communicate with your rep your needs.

[@a.g.3412]

Hi Nada! Have you heard about the THMA school. This is what one if the top nurse injectors in Montreal recommends. Likewise, here in Quebec you must be under a doctor's supervision to inject. Is it like that in Ontario?

[@nadathenurseinjector]

Hello! Yes I’ve heard of it and know some nurses that went. Haven’t heard any complaints and they have a good rep. Yes, I think everywhere in Canada requires a medical director able to prescribe.

[@glorassiafares7320]

Hey! I have a question related to the courses that are offered. I see that Centennial College has it (roughly 112 hours), and so do other places like APT (2 days). Do you know the difference in these? Like is one better than the other, or does one give you a wider certificate?

[@nadathenurseinjector]

Generally speaking the colleges have more of a medical aesthetics course that covers some content related to Botox and fillers but no actual hands on with love models. So I would call and ask but I’d think that the 2 day courses hold more substance from an injector stand point.

[@claritasantiago9009]

Heyy!! I’m also planning to take it in Centennial!! Let me know if you already went to get/study the course. Thanks 😊

[@moniquemanteiga6009]

Hi lovely! Thank you for this. Out of curiosity, which school did you go to? I can’t seem to find a two year program?!

[@lizzyespo]

How did you open your own clinic??? Did you need to find a doctor or dermatologist?

[@nadathenurseinjector]

Yes you need a medical director for your clinic. An MD or NP in Ontario.

[@kaurkulvinder3986]

Hi Nada , can you tell exact certifications we need to become aesthetic nurse after RPN . I living near Ottawa do you know any best school?

[@nadathenurseinjector]

There is no specific requirement. Most nurses just take a beginner injectable course followed by some sort of additional trainings. I’d Google and see whats around you. I’m not too familiar with Ottawa.

[@jennaelise6739]

Great video! I read on the CNO website that RNs and RPNs must collaborate directly with a NP or physician to inject botox. Does this affect your practice since you decided to work independently? Also, do you know if being an experienced cosmetic injector in Ontario would make you eligible to inject in the US as an RPN? Or would you likely have to go back and obtain your RN degree? Thanks!!

[@nadathenurseinjector]

Yes so it’s an independent practice but still has a medical director who is an NP or MD. As for the US, from what I know, it’s state dependent.
