Just curious. ]]> Flight Nursing and Surface Transport Nursing JayVArn http://allnurses.com/flight-nursing-surface/crna-flight-nurse-436625.html http://allnurses.com/flight-nursing-surface/need-advice-career-434649-new.html Tue, 27 Oct 2009 12:16:00 GMT Greetings! I have been working in the emergency department setting since graduating nursing school... Greetings! I have been working in the emergency department setting since graduating nursing school in June. My previous career has been Fire Rescue / EMS, as a paramedic since 1993. I always loved being a medic and was very good at my job. Ended up resigning from the fire rescue department I worked for to do nursing full time to get a schedule more in line with my wife (also an RN), and now I am feeling a bit of a twinge when I see an ambulance running hot down the road. I never enjoyed the fire side, always preferring emergency medicine, so I don't see myself returning to the field in that role. But I have always considered flight nursing as a good potential to fill my needs of pre-hospital emergency care (and of course the interfacility role which pays the bills, no misconception there). As far as licenses and certs I have my RN, Paramedic, ACLS, PALS, ITLS (was known as PHTLS), BTLS, NRP. I am signed up for TNCC and studying up for my CEN which I plan to obtain before the end of the year, then I will work on CFN. My manager at the ED said he would gladly write me a strong letter of recommendation after I have a year on as an RN and I have a strong working relationship with several ED MD's that I could get letters from (not just my current facility, but also from my EMS days). So, what else should I do to bolster my resume and chances of improving my success? Thanks in advance! ]]> Flight Nursing and Surface Transport Nursing SpaceCoastRN http://allnurses.com/flight-nursing-surface/need-advice-career-434649.html
