Understand the aesthetic nursing job market, salary expectations, and how to position yourself for roles in vein clinics and medical spas.
Understanding your capabilities and supervision requirements as an RN performing sclerotherapy.
Registered nurses can perform sclerotherapy as a delegated procedure under physician supervision. Your nursing license allows you to perform procedures within your scope when delegated by a supervising physician and after proper training. Many vein clinics and aesthetic practices rely on skilled RNs to perform the majority of sclerotherapy treatments, making this a valuable skill for career advancement in aesthetic nursing.
Aesthetic nursing positions typically offer higher hourly rates and better working conditions than hospital nursing.
Most states allow RNs to perform sclerotherapy under general supervision, meaning the physician is available but not necessarily on-site. Requirements vary by state.
Sclerotherapy training is often a stepping stone. Many RNs continue with NP education or add other aesthetic skills to become comprehensive aesthetic providers.
Your nursing background provides an excellent foundation for sclerotherapy. IV insertion skills, patient assessment abilities, medication administration knowledge, and experience managing adverse reactions all transfer directly to vein treatment procedures. Many RNs find sclerotherapy easier to learn than expected because of these existing competencies.
Receive your AAOPM Certificate of Completion with 8.0 CME credits. This certification demonstrates your competency in sclerotherapy and is typically required by employers and malpractice insurers for RNs performing vein treatments.
