Flight Nurse

Whether it be flying to the scene of a car accident or transporting a critically ill patient to a specialty hospital by helicopter or fixed-wing aircraft, the flight nursing specialty requires an experienced and skilled professional to make split-second decisions during intense situations.

Thank you for this useful information. I am a young man in Nursing school right now, and I definitely see this in my nursing career path as well.

thanks, i/m another guy thinking about doing a nursing degree seeing as my initial direction didn't feel right for me and emergency nursing is what attracting me most to follow the career path, hopefully if all goes well I'll be in the same potion as you in say 10-15 years

Thanks for making this video. On my way to becoming a flight nurse. 3 years ICU experience, and just got on with my hospital's critical care transport team. All fixed-wing transport... no "from the scene" work. Hoping to get on the helicopters in a few years. Planning to transition to working in the emergency department this year.
