How much do you make as a flight nurse?


It's what I want to do anyway (eventually) but just curious if anyone knows of a good resource where I could find this information.

Pretty much varies from place to place but here in Ohio I am making almost twice as much working in a clinic than I did as a flight nurse (just quit at the end of July) and I don't have to worry about crashing!

Mid 70's.

Fly in a resource spot 8 - 10 24-hr shifts a month.

Long drive to some of my bases (over 200 miles each way)

May be making changes soon. That crash thing is getting to me.

Good Luck.

Money is not a good motivator - you have to look at the big picture. It is getting tough to see the upside.

Practice Safe!

Here is a provider in your area: http://www.lifeteam.net/Default.aspx
Call the Medical Base Supervisor and ask how much is the starting rate. Looks like there are quite a few openings.

I'm so glad to see a thread in which someone asks about the rate of pay without being chided, scolded or reamed. The whole "nursing is something you do to be the next Mother Theresa, how can you even THINK about money" line is so tired. Kudos to those of you who jusy answered the question the best you could.

Less than half of what I make working per diem in the ED, and I work for one of the better paying services in my area.
