Flight nurse questions

Hi everyone,

I am writing a paper on flight nursing, and I was wondering if anyone could answer a couple of my questions! If so, could I cite your name in my paper? Thank you!

Are there specific legal/liability issues that pertain to flight nursing?Yes, we're doing advanced procedures: central lines (femoral), sternal/humeral head IO's, surgical crics, advanced pharmacology: paralytics, propofol, fentanyl etc...

How are the job opportunities?Actually pretty good; especially if you are willing to relocate. Some complain that the profession is being "dumbed down" to accomadate the need. (Maybe there is just less 'egos', I don't know.)

Is continuing education required? Yes.. plenty.. (see above.)

Are there additional costs (e.g. credentialing organization dues, national testing and licensure, and required continuing education)?
