When Did I Decide I Wanted To Be An Aesthetic Nurse?
People often ask me this question and it generally surprises them when I say that I actually started out in conventional nursing with the specific intention of going on to a job as an Aesthetic Nurse.
I had always had a fascination with anti-ageing medicine and one my good friends was already a nurse.
One day we simply decided that I should train to become a nurse too, so that we could eventually have our own skin clinic together.
To anyone listening at the time it might have sounded far-fetched or even unrealistic, and I can certainly say I didn’t have any clear idea of exactly how that dream would develop.
But that is genuinely how it all began for me and everything that’s happened since seems to have proved that I was absolutely on the right track!

Hi there, I am looking for a bit of advice please. I am a RNLD/RGN/SCHPN currently working in the community as a health visitor. I have enrolled on the level 7 Aesthetics course and only hold a community prescribing certificate. I have tried to get on to the non-medical prescribing course, but they look for 2 years experience in the area of speciality before i can do the prescribers course. I am looking for work to gain this experience, but all the adverts appear to look for experienced nurses in the field and some with non-medical prescribers certification. I wondered how I would go about getting the experience to carry on in my choice of career. Your support would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance :)
