Medical Career Advice
Hello to anyone reading or willing to give me some guidance and advice.
I have a place to study biomedical science as I would like to be a medical aesthetician in the future. Now I’m realising that a nursing degree is more suitable in order to get into aesthetics. Even though the course that I will be studying somehow aligns with being a medical aesthetician, how do I go from this course to being an aesthetics nurse? I know that there is a way but have I made it a bit more challenging for myself?
I also read that doing Level 2 NVQ facial and skincare course, and NVQ Level 3 anatomy and physiology course could be a start too.
I’m not sure what to do, I do have a few things in mind ^
Any responses will be greatly appreciated.
