Can Resident Interns Perform Juverderm Injections at a RN's Presence?

notmyrealself1020
I had an appointment with a registered nurse at a medical spa. But while I was there, there was a physician in training or some sort, who was observing the injection process. Half way through the injection, the RN casually asked the guy to take over the injection. It was really really excruciatingly painful. I left the clinic with bruises and a lump that wouldn't go away until today. Are interns legally allowed to perform injections at the presence of a RN, and without the patient's consent?
