- Hello Beautiful Humans!
So today we are going to talk about money, and how much money I make as a Cosmetic Nurse, and how much I made in the ER.
Here is the video I talk about my timeline in:

Love how transparent you are about pay! It is so helpful when weighing the pros/cons of making the switch! Your videos have helped me tremendously!!! Thank you!!!
Sasha Collins I am so glad! I definitely think people don’t share enough!!
$18 an hour after stressing out in school I’d be pissed!😩
Sounds horrible! I am a new grad nurse and start at 46/hr nights. 41/hr for days. I work nights.
@@Julia-lx7zt omg where do you live im moving there
@@ashleysmith6252 I live in Oregon but work in Vancouver WA right across the bridge. Both states pay about the same, but you should move to WA, since they don't pay income tax.
@@Julia-lx7zt you a registered nurse ?
@@Nayamirie yes
$18/hour??? that's insulting to nurses and your education. that's barely more than what a tech makes
Right. As a medical assistant here in texas I started out with my first job $15 and current job I'm paid $17.50
Agree!!
I'm a tech and make $21! $18 is ridiculous!! I would move states so fast!
I'm a new tech and I make $22.75/hour
😬TN is a little low, I’m an RN in Hou at an aesthetics clinic and we make $40/hr. But we also don’t get commission or have to build clientele. Patients get whatever nurse is on the schedule for the day. You can request to have the same nurse and they’ll do their best but we don’t guarantee it. Our insurance is about $275 per check and we get about 4 hrs pto each check as well. We work 4 or 5 days per week. I love what I do and it’s always nice to hear from other aesthetic nurses, we don’t get talked about too often!
Hi. Do you have your Bsn? Also, did you have to work in a hospital before being able to land a job at this place your at now? Also, how did you learn about injectables?
Hi, what part of Houston are you in? I am in houston as well! I would love to connect with you! I am considering switching and am currently running a program at a Hospital in Houston.
Omg this is so late but in case y’all see this and were still wondering…I do have my bsn, I have never worked in the hospital and the company I’m with offers on the job training for everything so I learned laser hair removal tattoo removal Botox filler thermage cool sculpting and laser facials on the job. Our insurance has now gone down too😂so I definitely still love it.
@@arenee8027 hi! thank you for update. I do have more questions and really would love to make transition. Could we chat ? I can send you my email. I'm in Houston as well, suburbs.
Thank you for making this video! For some reason it’s hard to find a lot of information on aesthetic nurses and it’s even more difficult to figure out how to get there once you graduate nursing school.
Just found your channel - subscribed! Thanks for the transparency! Definitely helps to better inform my future nursing goals. 💕 Great review 🌸
Thank you so much for this video It really broke down the realities of the specialization.
Thank you for all the work you put into this video... I kept going back and couldn't find where you said what your hourly base pay was at the Med Spa? Thanks
I just love her voice & intro!
For those wondering/commenting on Tennessee pay...New grad nurse pay in middle TN for floor nursing as of May 2019 is as follows: Vanderbilt $22 Tennova $24 HCA I think was also $24ish and I think St Thomas was similar to $24ish as well. This does not count shift diffs. If I remember correctly vandy had better shift diffs so it all kind of leveled out. You can make more if you are, as she was saying, float pool, prn, or critical care nursing. By more I mean anywhere from $2- $7 more per hour. Of course this is the major hospitals in middle Tennessee and could be why the pay is so much different than hers.
I feel like one of my main concerns is that I’m really scared to mess somebody’s face up how did you overcome that fear is you had it?
Can you please explain how do we get that initial hands on work experience before applying for an aesthetic nurse job? Because most dermatology practices and medical spas require you to have a couple years of experience before they hire you. Getting that experience to land a job as a nurse injector seems difficult, I have been trying for a while. Please help!!
Thank you for your transparency! Do most aesthetic RN’s have a certification ( in neurotoxins/cosmetics) prior to employment ?
that is definitely the way the market is going! Happy to help!
Did you ever mention your monthly take home pay as an aesthetic nurse? I never heard it
The $18/hr killed me too - we make that as nursing assistants in NYS
Im a new grad in $50 an hour in CA I got paid $17 as a CNA in 2016 . I literally did not know the pay varied that much 😲
Did I miss your base pay at the spa? I only heard you talk about the commission over your base pay?
She didn’t mention it. 😔 I guess it’s cuz she’s currently working there.
You're so beautiful and explained this so well thanks
woah... I am a RN in NY I make 50$ an hour working the night shift
Well... that’s NY. Y’all more expensive.
It is insane that I only live like 4-5hrs away from Tennessee and we start at around $27-28/hr. Like cost of living cannot be that much different ! So sad for those nurses they pay them so little!!
Not all of TN pays like that. She needs to name the city/town.
I didn’t receive any pay info on the cosmetic nurse so, I feel I have nothing to compare it to...
Wow I live in Texas and my city starts nurses around $30 an hour!
So how much do you make at the medspa if you would work the same amount of hours as the hospital?
In the uk our starting salary is £21,000 a year!! Meaning every month we get roughly £1,400
watch the whole video but someone missed the hourly wage for Aesthetic Nurse. What is your hourly wage before incentives or commission?
In east tn now, started as a new grad in 2021 and pay is still terrible! 😂 I started at $19 and I made more than that taking phone calls during college
Oh you are so cute !! Thanks for this video
wow! i thought louisiana was bad, i started out at $22/hr back in 2015 $25.50 at night 🤯
Wow ! I make 18.50 as a nurse tech in Atlanta. That pay is ridiculous for RNs in TN. 🥴
It's such a shame nurse get paid so little in some states. I'm in Sydney, currently in nursing school as an AIN (Assistant Nurse) I get $23 an hour and I think New Grads here get about $26. Love your accent by the way!
My sister works for a plastic surgeon she performs many exemplary injections for patients and brings them $250k a year and she gets paid 45k a year salary only.
I'm trying to figure out how to advise her since she's unhappy about this.
How can you find other profesionals as a nurse for a potential commited relationship?
Dang that’s crazy. I make that as a CNA in Washington State!
In the Bay Area base pay is between $50-70
I get 8hrs of pto every check at the hospital I’m at now!❤️😌
I live in PA. 1 yr psych experience...$43.50/hr.
I really hated Working days at the hospital 😭
LPNs in IL make $18, I actually make more because I’ve been at it a long time.
Omg pca at my hospital make 19/hr, new grades start at 36/hr for days and $40/night. $18… Target pays more
18$/hr... sheesh!!! I make double in jersey as a rehab nurse with shift diff.. that’s insane
do you work 5 days a week?
Your skin is FLAAAAAAAWLESS!
I’m out here complaining about 32 🤦🏽♀️ new y
Where do you live in tn to be getting paid 18$ and a nurse my whole family are nurses and make 25$ hour and they are lpns 🤔#memphis
That's what I'm wondering. She might be from East TN or something??
Yeah i make $19 as a new LPN in bama. I know plenty here that make $20-$30. RNs make $30-50
oh no cashier at costco make 18$
$18 an hour? 😳😳😳.
OMG 18$ where?? That’s ridiculous!!!
What about retirement with the med spa?
At my current office I have a 401K and a match option!
"if something were to happen & people were not to have money for non-essential services" Really didn't age well 😳
$18 an hour🤣🤣🤣🤣 my 15 year old makes $16/hr working the drive through at Taco Bell
Nursing is so hard. Working for 18 or even 20 an hour is disgusting. This is why nurses will never be valued. They work for pennies.
Thank you for this video!! It is so helpful!!! No one really talks about the money and how it really works. Thanks again!
Thank you for telling us actual numbers! Everyone else never really talks about pay. This was very helpful!
Abby I’m so glad!
I have a semester left of nursing school and I’m loving your videos! You’ve made me more interested in this specialty!
Ellie Fehrenbach I’m so glad! Congrats on being almost done!
Aloha! Glad to see a fellow Aesthetic RN! You’ve mentioned some really good points. As with any jobs, there are trade-offs but like you, I enjoy the flexibility working in a medspa. I control my hours plus it’s the “happy side” of medicine. Your commission is at par nationwide. In Hawaii, there’s only a handful of us Aesthetic RNs.
Kathryne Hello Kathryne!! It’s always nice to find each other! I am like you- I love the flexibility and the “happy” side of medicine is a REALLY good point!!
omg $18/hour?! MINIMUM WAGE where I live is $15/hour. Get it together TN!
Julia Baldwin girl you aren’t kidding!!
Hey! Where do you live if you don’t mind me asking
Mine was $25 as a new grad. $18 is ridiculous. TN, pick it up. This work is hard.
@@Christineavila1 in Memphis TN I started off making $27/hr on night shift...but it's $23.50/hr on days. Then I moved to a trauma 1 hospital and made #29/hr night shift ( had been a nurse for 1y6mos) then moved to weekender and made $40/hr but another closeby hospital pays $45/hr for a weekender position plus shift diff for nights
Thank you for your transparency I live in Los Angeles and girl Tennessee is tremendously underpaid it’s not fair for all the work nurses do!
Kyle and Erik gosh I know!!
Literally just binged watched all of your videos. Thank you so much for being completely honest about your industry! I am going through esti school and then applying to RN school right after - you've made me feel so much better about my career choice! :)
Alyson Gasp I am SO glad!!!
This is exactly the path I'm considering myself, previously worked as an MA and want sure about going forward to RN but I'm obsessed with Aesthetic Nursing so thinking of doing Esti school first to get a feel for it and build clientele.
Love your videos on cosmetic nursing! I'm pursuing to be a cosmetic nurse too💖
Thank you for opening up about this!
Thank you so much for making this video. I’ve been going back and forth with which specialty I want to peruse and salary can be a big decision on what to peruse
MatthewDailyTV I totally understand! And you are very welcome! Hope it was helpful!
Thanks for this information! I’m an RN BSN and I’m looking to transition to cosmetic nursing. Currently on an eating disorders unit (so pretty medical). It’s SO hard to find a company that will train you!
Gabrielle Choi oh wow! I know it is definitely hard to find an employer, depending on the area you are in. Keep at it!
Thank you for your video!
Could pls consider to make a video about differences between NP and RN in the aesthetic fields ? Thank you :)
It is on the list!
I definitely want to do injectables. Thank you so much for your video and your honest opinion!
Hi! I am in my 5th out of 7 semesters in nursing school and graduating in December with my BSN. This video was really informative, and I love your youtube so far! I have subscribed and just want to say thank you for being so transparent. ER and cosmetic nursing are definitely both specialities I am considering. Did you ever get nervous that you might lose your skills as an ER nurse as you transitioned to cosmetic? also do you plan on going back to school? thanks so much for your time!
Ariel Hello Love! That is so exciting you are almost done!! And thanks for the kind words! Losing my ER skills is definitely a reality I had to be okay with- I hope if I ever return to the ER it would be like riding a bike- but it would definitely take some adjustments! And at this point in my life I don’t plan on going back- but never say never!!
You're such an inspiration, Caroline
The Bottom Channel you are a gem 😘 I’m on it!
Love your videos!! Plz make more 💓
scrubs andblush I am so glad!!
Still wondering what the great thing about float pool is!! lol @ 5:23
Could you do a video on the role of a NP vs RN in the aesthetic industry? Is it worth going back to school, etc?
Sasha Collins for sure! I’ve been thinking about doing a reasons to go back or not to go back video!
Would you recommend going to school for your LPN to get to become an cosmetic nurse? In Indiana form what I’ve read LPN can do Injections etc but i was wondering if I should do the LPN or just try to stick it out to get my RN.
Honestly, I would just stick it out and get your RN!
New subbie here! Your videos are very informative. Especially for someone like myself that is starting nursing school in the fall and wants to pursue a career as a Cosmetic Nurse. Do you know of any available resources for nursing students who want to learn more about Cosmetic Nursing before being in that specialty? That would be a great video
I would check out Med Aesthetic Institute, and reach out to providers in your area to see if you could potentially shadow someone!
@@carolinebeth5630 Thank you!
Thanks for the info 💚
You are so welcome!
Crazy how the pay varies in different parts of the country. At my hospital new grads get $32/hour
Where r u located?
Honey Bee jersey
Health insurance video pls!!!
Hi Caroline, I was wondering how you kept two jobs at the same time (ER and as an Aesthetic nurse) long time ago. Did you ask your ER manager if you can have a set schedules so you can make time for your other job? Your reply would mean a lot! Thanks
Hey Hailey! SO in the ER we made our own schedule as long as we worked every other weekend, so I was able to schedule myself around the days I was at the Medspa! Hope this helps!
Can you do cost of everything?
Wow thanks for sharing! So is the cost of living in TN really low?
No problem! I would say the cost of living is definitely on the lower side nationwide!
Crazy how different pay is compared to california lol. I started at $45 as a new grad in the ER.
Roy Johnson oh I know! It’s nuts!
Depending on cost of living
What part of California?
What is your schedule like at the Med spa? I’m currently in nursing school and I also want to be an esthetic nurse!
Hey babe! I work Monday/Wed/Thur/Fri, and when I work Saturday's I work W-Sat, I usually work 1-2 Saturdays a week. Monday and Saturday is 9-5. Wed/Friday is 9-6 and Thurs is 11-8.
I live on Long Island in New York and I’m still in high school so i don’t know too much about the pay here. But I believe that the pay in the city is higher than on Long Island and I wonder how much of a difference the pay is. I have a job right now and I make just above minimum wage here and I take home s little under what u made as an ER nurse. That’s crazy how low the pay is in Tennessee.
MatthewDailyTV oh living in New York the pay is going to be way higher, but the cost of living is also much higher, keep that in mind. But it is crazy how low RNs are paid here... we are working with legislation to make it better!
Upstate New York summer 2015 community hospital new grad base pay $34.00. Even more in the city. One new nurse told me 45$ in Westchester County ny.
Big hospitals like Presbyterian, NYU , Mount sinai for day shift varies between 48.19-50 an hour . Night shift includes a 5k shift differential .
City hospitals like Coney Island , Kings county , Bellevue , which are owned by the city l starting pay is like 77k .
Do you think it’s worth paying 2500-3000 for 1 day classes for dermal fillers to get into this field? Most don’t come with credentials such as cme credits
Eboni Murphy I think it depends on who is putting on the class- what company is it thru??
Caroline Beth Medical Aesthetic Art Institute you can find them at www.learnininjectables.com
Eboni Murphy they are fantastic!
Thank you😊
Do you think it’s a good idea to give away fillers to pretty people & get pictures and reviews , to build your book and brand?
I think you have to be careful about "giving" things away- I would recommend working with your brand rep (Allergan, galderma, etc) to get some good rebates. A good why I found to grow your following is offer patient's a small discount to post that they are seeing you/engaging in social media!
Couldn’t you open your own place as a np
Do u work part time in ER and med spa currently?
scrubs andblush I am full time at the medspa! I left the hospital and started full time in October of last year
