Hybrid Aesthetic Nursing Made a Difference in Dr. Suellen Cristina's Professional Life

Nurse Suellen Cristina Teixeira dos Santos Padilha was even losing her love for nursing. But hybrid aesthetic nursing came along to change her life!

She says she never got to experience day-to-day life as a nurse when she graduated, because she became a mother during that period and needed to devote some time to her son, who is now 4 years old. Even so, the investment in a specialization in aesthetic nursing was already set to happen.

“I was losing my love for nursing, and I knew I had to do something to get back into the market. It was the hybrid teaching format that made it possible for me to take the specialization and build a professional life completely different from the one I expected to have,” says Dr. Suellen.

Passionate about hybrid aesthetic nursing, Dr. Suellen explains that the appeal has always been present in her life. “Every woman likes aesthetics to some degree, and caring for others made me passionate. I made new friends and I truly found myself,” she says.

Hybrid aesthetic nursing was the alternative for getting back into the job market!

Today the aesthetic nurse is already doing some home visits and is finalizing a work partnership with a friend from the specialization to see patients together at a clinic.

“Today I do my routine: this morning I saw a patient for microneedling, came back home, and got to see my son and my great-grandmother. I'm close by in case they need me, and that's what matters,” she explains.

The ease of coming and going and setting her own schedule is what proved most positive for Dr. Suellen about hybrid aesthetic nursing.

“Aesthetics came into my life to change everything for the better. I really was losing my love for nursing, until I went to specialize and study. Today I've been able to rebuild my routine. My mother-in-law helps me stay with my son at certain times of the day when I need to see patients, and I'm present with my family several times a day”, she explains.

Like any entrepreneur who grows gradually, Dr. Suellen is also making plans for the future in that direction, something that was possible thanks to hybrid aesthetic nursing.

“Next week I start seeing patients in a physical space together with a friend. Today I do facial and body aesthetics, and we're buying an ozone therapy device together too, because we noticed it's an area that has been growing a lot”, says the aesthetic nurse.

The Cássia Bento space, located in the Inhaúma neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, has everything it takes to grow, according to its founders. “I'm very proud of the many challenges I faced and everything I went through to get here”.

More success stories in aesthetics

Dr. Camille Mendes went into nursing because she wanted to help care for other people. However, she found a very traditional market after graduating. Later, with her specialization in aesthetic nursing, she began to fulfill her original dream.

Dr. Juliana Ferreira also has her place in the sun with hybrid aesthetic nursing. She even managed to start her own business by opening her own practice. And yes, it was through aesthetic nursing. It is also worth considering the example if you are looking for career success.

Among the success stories, we also have one from another field, in this case pharmacy: the pharmacist who left the drugstore to start a business in aesthetics. See! It is another honest, personal account that can boost your life and your career.

After all this, what are you waiting for to study hybrid aesthetic nursing? Remember that it gives professionals the training to work independently, autonomously, and entrepreneurially in the market. Your time has come! Like these people, make it count!
