Went on a flight nurse day clinical trip (signed up for it) and it was exciting. 12 hr shift for me but the people that work there, it was 24h shifts 2x per week 1 rn. 1 medic. 1 pilot You just sit around until you get paved out. We went on 2 trips. One person died mid flight so we went back then the 2nd trip we flew out to some rural area maybe like a 10-15 min ride going at 100-120 mph. Anyways we got to the site, got off the helicopter and I was nervous even though I wasn’t doing anything. The rn and medic put an iv in then we rolled her to the helicopter. They already have like 3-4 iv pumps inside and they have a lot of medications. They administered zofran and fentanyl iirc. We land back at the hospital and wheel her into the er where they stabilize her. After that the rn and medic chart what happened, what they gave her, vital signs every minute while on the helicopter and that’s about it. It was exciting. Going onto the site not knowing what it’s gonna look like. I talked to the rn and she said one time she landed at a car crash scene and there were multiple dead bodies. I could tell that her and the medic were very desensitized to death. The medic was talking to me about the messed up things he saw so it’s definetly not a job for everyone
I'm a paramedic, but I started as an EMT, and I did ground transports with RNs for several years. It was a great job for them and us. It often pays a bit less than hospital nursing, but it's just so darn chill, and the biggest problem you often have is whether you're going to get burgers or Italian for lunch.
I enjoyed the video, thank you. I volunteered for my local fire house as an EMT. I offloaded helicopters for a LV 1. Trauma center as an ER Technician, as my full time job, such a rush. Again, awesome and such a relatable video.
I was 19 yrs old when I was put on a UH60 Blackhawk as a Combat Medic I had to hold an American soldiers head together in between my knees as we flew the patient to the 121 hospital in Seoul Korea. My skills at that time were not even Civilian EMT-B 🥶🇺🇸🙈😎
@@happyjohal4011 get your BSN. work in a level 1 or level 2 trauma for 3-5 years in either an ICU and or ED. Get pals acls, ect as well as emt cert and ccrn.
Great content; I'm in MA and would love to work for this company some day. I'm a nursing student at the current time but I already know this is where my heart is.
Good video. The BSN requirement by Boston is very odd. It means absolutely nothing. I have 33 years experience as a Paramedic/RN. Including ER/ICU and numerous other experience. I've been hired as a Flight Nurse 3 times. Currently I work on rotor, as all 3 jobs were helicopter. One job was 1/2 rotor and 1/2 fixed wing. Nobody ever asked about BSN because it doesn't matter. My ADN degree was actually more focused on what matters (pt care) than the extra courses I missed, like statistics.
OOOOMMMMGEEEEEEEE!!!! This is what I’ve always wanted to do!!!! Thank you so much for this video!!! It answered a lot of questions I had about flight nursing😁
I haven’t finished the video yet but I had to laugh at story similarities!! I have my BSc in Dietetics but went into wildland firefighting and am about to start nursing school this fall for similar reasons! 😂

USA: Flight nurse
UK: Air Ambulance nurse
In the UK it’s usually an advanced paramedic working in the air ambulance with the medic.
This is what I want to do.
