If you’re a licensed nurse wondering how to break free from hospital burnout and take control of your career, you’re in the right place. Becoming an Aesthetics & Wellness Nurse is one of the fastest-growing and most rewarding career shifts in healthcare, and it’s more accessible than ever in 2025.

Here's how to get started on your path to a rewarding new part-time or full-time adventure.

Step 1: Check Your Eligibility

Visit your state’s Board of Nursing website and research aesthetics and wellness nursing scope of practice. You’ll want to confirm that:

• You can deliver Botox/fillers under a medical director
• IV therapy and GLP-1 programs are within your scope

Five Square Aesthetics, helps nurses verify their license and practice eligibility for aesthetics and wellness in their specific state, with legal guidance and a compliance checklist.

Step 3: Get Compliant

To operate a legally-recognized aesthetics or wellness business, you must take the steps to establish a legally-recognized business entity, get connected with a Medical Director that can offer clinical oversight and assistance, and get insured. In short, you'll want to:

• File an LLC or PLLC in your state
• Secure a medical director with availability and an understanding of aesthetics
• Get malpractice insurance
• Draft consent forms and client documentation

Five Square helps nurses establish their LLC, assigns them a licensed medical director, and provides compliant forms and documentation templates so they don’t have to start from scratch.

Step 4: Complete Your Training and Certification

Your patient's results are only as good as your training. Look for comprehensive training programs in Botox, filler, IV therapy, and GLP-1 administration. Be sure the trainers are qualified and include practical components.
