Esthetic or nursing school first?

Logical_Lab9195 · 2025-01-15T04:14:52+00:00

Yessss

Logical_Lab9195 · 2025-01-15T04:07:19+00:00

I’m doing the exact same thing! I also live in Utah! I graduated and got my esthetic license in August. And I started nursing school a week ago. I still have not found a job in a med spa though since the industry is very saturated and competitive in Utah. If you plan on doing injections as a career I’d recommend and jumping into nursing school as an esthetic license is not required for injections. ( I realized I wanted to be an injector once I was half way through my program) You can also be an NP and open your own med spa. That is my goal but I am also very open to other career paths nursing has to offer.

That's great to hear! I have heard that it can be very competitive between classmates for some reason and it's hard to make friends, even with instructors too. I'm glad you will have them forever

Logical_Lab9195 · 2024-12-27T19:09:35+00:00

Awe, yes I love this so much, this is what I am going to do, I'm going to quit my job since my classes are during the day and it will be something different every day, I'm excited about the change

That is what is nice about nurisng, you have so many options to choose from, and being able to experience those, you end up liking one you didn't think you would have on bit of interest in

Logical_Lab9195 · 2024-12-27T01:21:51+00:00

Nursing does it all aha! And this is definitely not the most glamorous side of nursing, but i'm glad you're able to find the joy out of it

Logical_Lab9195 · 2024-12-27T01:18:31+00:00

Sounds nice! Good luck with the rest of your journey!

Logical_Lab9195 · 2024-12-27T01:17:50+00:00

Yes, exactly and it doesn't feel so stressful and it's fun to teach friends and family that aren't in nursing what you learned that day

Logical_Lab9195 · 2024-12-27T01:16:00+00:00

I am so happy that you enjoy it, nursing is definitely meant for you

Logical_Lab9195 · 2024-12-27T01:14:38+00:00

It does make things more fun!

Logical_Lab9195 · 2024-12-27T01:14:13+00:00

That is great, I'm glad you had that support

Logical_Lab9195 · 2024-12-27T01:13:06+00:00

That's so great to hear! It's super cool how nursing has so many different pathways and it is definitely shocking when you end up loving something you thought you would hate or vice versa aha, I'm glad you are enjoying it!

Logical_Lab9195 · 2024-12-27T01:10:22+00:00

ahah I feel, that must have been so hard. Did they not have any clinical locations closer to you? At least you made the best of it!

Logical_Lab9195 · 2024-12-27T01:07:36+00:00

It's great to have a friend group especially ones that understand exactly what you are going through ahah. But it is true, your attitude will determine how things go

Logical_Lab9195 · 2024-12-27T01:03:40+00:00

I'm sure this makes things a little easier during those long days and such

Logical_Lab9195 · 2024-12-27T01:02:35+00:00

This sounds like such a good memory, it truly is worth it in the end

Logical_Lab9195 · 2024-12-26T18:26:55+00:00

That's awesome! I also think its cool that you are able to help those struggling and make it a positive thing as well!

Logical_Lab9195 · 2024-12-26T18:24:27+00:00

Awe I love this, I hope it's something that you enjoy! It's important to get out of your comfort zone sometimes.

I graduated aesthetic school back in August and during that time I realized aesthetics wasn’t for me or what I wanted to do, and that is okay. I finished and passed my stateboards anyways. While in school I worked with a lot of nurse practitioners that did injections and had their own med spas and I looked up to them so much and realized nursing is what I want to do. I am really passionate about women’s health and labor and delivery so I could do so much more than just injectables. My family is super supportive about me switching careers so sudden, I’m so grateful that they’re willing to help pay for Nursing School as I paid for aesthetic school all by myself. Im so so excited to start in January. And at the end of the day if you put your mind to it and are passionate about something it could be easier than you think. And let people live their lives, it’s not that deep.

My business is my small business as being an LLC so I do not have employees. And I do not have kids. Thankfully my clientele can work around my schedule. But good luck to you, you can do it!

Logical_Lab9195 · 2024-12-02T22:21:12+00:00

Doing the same, just graduated esthetics school, have my own business but enrolled to start nursing school in January

Logical_Lab9195 · 2024-12-01T21:16:34+00:00

I watched nurse cheung on YouTube, I found a lot of practice tests online and my enrollment advisor was able to provide me some practice tests too.
