Advanced Studies For Nurses Only

DISCOVER THE UNDISCOVERED©2007-08
     

 

Because the practice of medical esthetics requires esthetic practice experts to think across multiple disciplines these broad-spectrum studies enable clinical nurses to expand their education. We have provided the following training opportunities to potential candidates with this focus in mind.  Learning opportunities that live up to their promise & require curricula that centers on nurses becoming more specialized. Streams of additional revenue can be created when nurses fill their full-potential by customizing their expertise to satisfied the needs of their patients. Trainees gain insights, explore practical solutions, ethical concerns, audit practice errors - typical of an esthetic division in a clinical facility, learn treatment preparation, review logs with recorded details of cross-caregiving patient circumstances & participate in one-on-one innovative discussions. Weekly training forums reflect a deeper analysis of  the critical reasoning aspects of the work. All trainees are assigned their own private instructor who is qualified to attentively listen & provide constructive feedback.

Questions & Answers - Proprietary Expertise Knowledge Test©2007-08

 

1.       Why is a more in-depth study of esthetic patient care worthy of consideration by nurses who seek to provide clinically-focused appearance enhancement applications?

An immense body of knowledge that combines both the practice of esthetic art with science is now required because of the constant number of new developments and modifications in medical-grade formulations and treatment modalities and because of the emergence of increased accountability factors that could, if not considered, diminish the nurse’s insurability. 

2.       Why is a nurse more likely to understand the camouflage make up process and less likely to experience “role confusion” when offering cosmetic rehabilitation to patients with disfigurement?

Nurses are more familiar with the process of therapeutic patient care services. Their approach is learner-centered so that their patients can reasonably expect to perform the camouflage process independently by the end of their session. Unlike the pervasive “show & tell” of makeup technician’s who tend to create platforms to showcase their highly-evolved expertise in makeup artistry. In contrast, the nurse offers an alternative by providing “assisted instruction.”  Nurses are aware of the implications of fostering interdependence by trying to take over too much control.  They recognize that the true purpose of camouflage sessions is to encourage self-sufficiency in patients and not to frustrate them with the perplexity of performing a highly-skilled cosmetic act making it near impossible for them to not experience a number of failed attempts that could lead to feelings of defeat and hopelessness instead of the patient achieving a satisfactory result on their own that they can confidently qualify.  

3.       What is the true intention of a nurse who is providing skin care & appearance management for adverse reactions for menopause and hormonal dysfunction?

To offer hope to mature patients and to partner with these patients to create a collaborative plan for the short and long term improvement of related problematic conditions and to inspire a new state of awareness in them about the physiology of their bodies and how to best care for them.

4.       Why is it important for nurses to initially learn the viewpoints and strategies of highly experienced esthetic experts rather than to initially take the traditional disproportionate appliance and product-dependent approach to training?

To achieve greater insights & to learn deeper more mentalist and more meaningful perspective rather than the common trial and error experimental methods of clinical esthetic applications and to be shown the true complexity of the work and more challenging variations in order to make significant observations and avoid erroneous assumptions of viable solutions.

5.       Why should nurses concentrate more on their professional status, career advancement and becoming better adept at their business affairs?

It has to be the responsibility of the nurses to work diligently to make certain they are perceived as irreplaceable in the workforce. In the past, business studies have been a challenge many nurses have tried to avoid.  In the years that lie ahead, nurses must put this priority near the top of their agenda and make sure that they make themselves unique in the work sector and difficult to replace.  Slowly but surely, nurses will start to succumb to the theory that they will need a better understanding of how to navigate in the marketplace and will be more involved in monitoring the economy. Those who value and invest in specialization training and know their exact worth (usually somewhat higher) will benefit from their distinction.
