The Perceived Value of Certification of Plastic and Aesthetic Nurses
There is no quantitative evidence as to how plastic and aesthetic nurses perceive the value of certification. The aim of this study was to determine how certified and noncertified plastic and aesthetic registered nurses (RNs), who are members of the International Society of Plastic and Aesthetic Nurses (ISPAN), perceive the value of certification. A secondary study aim was to compare perceptions of nurses who hold a CPSN (Certified Plastic Surgical Nurse), CANS (Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist), or both certifications with nurses who do not hold these certifications. Upon approval of the ISPAN Board of Directors, the ...

Establishing a Standardized Facial Cosmetic Preinjection Safety Tool: The ACIST
This article establishes the importance of integrating the Assessment Cosmetic Injection Safety Tool (ACIST), a standardized preinjection safety tool, into the cosmetic practice to decrease the incidence of adverse events associated with dermal filler and to achieve optimal patient satisfaction and outcomes. The ACIST was designed from the scientific literature, piloted at an urban cosmetic practice in the southern United States, finalized on the basis of feedback from participating staff members at the pilot study center, and disseminated to cosmetic nurse injectors.

The Expanding Role of the Canadian Nurse Practitioner in Medical Aesthetics
Advanced practice in nursing is well established and has been active since the 1800s. In most cases, the role was developed because of a specific need or gap in patient care. Advanced practice nurses (APNs) have been experts in medical aesthetic injections for more than 30 years. The APNs' independence became increasingly common as a mechanism of continuity of care for the non-surgical-medical aesthetic patients. The APN role has evolved, and nurse practitioners (NPs) are now collaborating with nurses safely and effectively in nurse-led clinics in medical aesthetics. There are specific education and college regulations tha...

Osteomyelitis, Venous Thrombosis, and Septic Emboli in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report
We present a case of osteomyelitis, venous thrombosis, and septic emboli occurring in a pediatric patient that should trigger suspicion of a PVL-positive strain. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary to enable rapid diagnosis and early treatment, which is essential for successful management of these infections. Management is based on broad-spectrum antibiotics, in combination with aggressive surgical treatment and antithrombotic therapy. In patients infected with S. aureus whose condition worsens quickly, PVL gene sequencing should be considered. (Source: Plastic Surgical Nursing)

Atypical Presentation of a Marjolin Ulcer After a Burn: A Case Report
The development of a nonhealing ulcer on a chronic wound or scar should raise suspicions of the plastic surgeon or nurse regarding the potential for malignant degeneration to a Marjolin ulcer. Occasionally, a Marjolin ulcer may present as exophytic granulation tissue within a scar. Most Marjolin ulcers are well-differentiated injuries; however, because of their aggressive nature and poor prognosis, to ensure surgical success, diagnosis of Marjolin ulcer should be confirmed and treatment initiated as soon as possible.
