My area of interest after becoming a nurse practitioner is aesthetics. An aesthetic nurse practitioner

is a

nurse practitioner who specializes in improving people’s appearance through cosmetic medical procedures

such as Botox, other dermal fillers, laser treatments, and many more. I chose to use the school library to find

an article related to this issue.

My experience was not the best. After accessing the online library at Walden, I

typed in my area of interest into the search bar and got zero results. I decided to try and change the database.

That did not help. I decided to search all databases and again

nothing came back to me. Things went on like

this for a while and then all of a sudden, some article options finally popped up. Why this happened or what I

did differently I could not tell you. I clicked on the desired article only to find that the full t

ext was not

available until I registered on this outside cite. I decided to register because it was free, and I wanted to finally

get to the article. After registering, it then prompted me to pay for the article. I threw my hands up at this

point and I do

not recommend this avenue of finding a scholarly peer reviewed article as it led me to lots of

frustration and confusion. I then returned to Walden online library and searched my desired topic again. This

time when my article choices appeared a link to vie

w the full text was magically an option listed.

The article I chose talked about the essentials of evidence

-

based practice in aesthetic procedures. The

demand for dermal fillers has skyrocketed in recent years. The concern is that not all proc

edures are being

administered in the same way therefore leaving room for a possible decrease in quality. Procedures in this

area used to be taught one on one by physicians and now the techniques are taught to the masses through

seminars and conferences. Mo

re care, practice, and studying must be taken nowadays in order in ensure the

highest quality. The practicing aesthetic nurse must also be familiar with their scope of practice and in order to

provide the best possible care to all their patients. (Harrison

& Hotta, 2020)
