@btgirten123 yes life flight usually staffs an EMT-Paramedic, a Nurse and a physician i live in illinois and that is what we run with. I know here in illinois for nurses you have to have 3-5 years experiance in the ER or Trauma ....but like i said that is in illinois....but im sure wherever you live im sure your life flight staffs a Flight Nurse as a paramedic only probably wouldnt be able to do certain things a Nurse would be able to do hope that helps :) and best of luck to you

@btgirten123 Acutally I do know those answers. If by onboard nurses you mean nurses who strictly fly with the pilots and are on call and hang out in the pilots quarters until a call comes in, the answer is yes. It is a full times job. I am not sure on their days on/days off schedule but I do know that in Utah the shifts are 12 hours. So for years my dad would do 6 days on and 6 days off. 3 nights and three days during that time. It depends where you work though.

@ildivofan1 Hey im a nursing student trying to find the right type of nursing and I read your post that your dad is a life flight pilot and I was wondering if either you or him knew if life flights generally have onboard nurses and if so is it a full time job or part time job?

Thanks,

Brad
