I’m okay with a fast paced environment. I just want to know how the company is doing from an inside prospective. Do they meet their sales goals? Any mass lay offs?

Hi so i completed the phone interview today with Laser Away and I have the video interview on thursday. What kind of questions do they ask for the second one ? Im extremely nervous as I do not do well in interviews in general

For context, I’m a RN BSN with 8 years of experience in ER, ICU and currently vascular surgery but no injecting experience. Would it be a bad idea to do a mentorship of 4 or 6 months without a job as an injector or could I apply while in either program?

I have the options between two separate medspas. But the longer, more expensive mentorship is at the medspa where I get my tox, microneedling and laser. My injector told me to sign up for the next cohort (10 people) in November.

Nurse injector for 3 years in HCOL state. I currently only make 20% commission off all services. No hourly. No tips unless my clients insists and I provide them my Venmo handle. But I never ask. So getting tips is rare more like a treat and not a part of my income. I feel like I’m making nothing with this current structure. And if a client no shows or if we are out of product so I can’t treat the client that day I make nothing. I’m just in the studio on my time. I am working under a provider whom has been in the industry for a long time and has regulars but there is no investment on her end to market or promote the other injectors. And when I’ve asked to advance my training or learn certain things she keeps putting it off. I feel like she’s gate keeping and I feel stuck.

Im in California. If there is a medical director for a medspa with multiple locations, can RNs inject without a provider on site? Im so confused. I’ve read that a provider (MD or NP) can do good faith exams virtual and the RN can inject? Is this right?

So I got hired as an aesthetic nurse in Australia at a well-known corporate clinic. I had zero aesthetics experience, and they knew that when they hired me. I was told I’d get proper training, supervision, and an internal “training academy.”

None of that was real.

First 2 weeks: online modules. No real hands-on teaching. I tried studying facial anatomy in my own time because I realised quickly I had no foundation.

Turns out their “academy” doesn’t exist — they just outsource everything to pharmaceutical reps.

Then I get sent to lip filler training. I raised concerns about having no theory and was reassured it would be covered.

Trainer shows up and immediately says they don’t train beginners and this isn’t for inexperienced injectors. Still, I get a rushed crash course and inject real patients under strict supervision.

I was so overwhelmed I didn’t absorb anything. I don’t even properly understand depth, technique, or where to place the needle yet.

Then I’m told I have ONE more training session with a different company — and after that I’m expected to inject independently. In total, I would’ve done about 3 models before being left on my own.

I’m the only nurse in the clinic. No mentor. No structured teaching. No proper anatomy training. I’m not even confident I know all the high-risk arteries and danger zones yet.

When I said I wasn’t comfortable and wanted some sort of mentor as I was promised, I was told to “just practice on your clients.”

So I quit.

Because what the actual hell is this industry where “training” means 3 models and then go experiment on paying people with 0 supervision or guidance.

Is this normal in aesthetics in Australia or did I land in an especially reckless clinic?

I’m a nurse with 8 years inpatient IV. I’m also an FNP but have no Np experience. I’m not even getting any call backs for interviews. Will medspas let me observe them so i can put something on my resume or is that just wishful thinking

I'm potentially taking a PRN position at a MedSpa as a RN injector. I currently don't have my own malpractice insurance because I work at a company where I'm a salaried employee. Who do you recommend for malpractice insurance for aesthetics?
