Advice for a new grad

Hi all
I will be moving from Charleston SC, to Knoxvill area in dec after I graduate...(Thankyou lord). My question to you all is, my 5 year plan is to become a flight nurse, I have a British military and Fire service background, I am also an EMT, I currently work in a busy ER here in CHS where ive been for past 4 years, so as you can see I love Trauma, Critical care, I had some advice in the past on Flight nurse stuff, and was told ICU is my best choice? I have been looking at UT as its a level 1, does anyone know if new grade are accepted or do yall (sorry, do you all) think I should look at the trauma center first, I am open to all options, also we, my wife and I dont have a fixed location to live yet, who knows nice areas to the east of Knoxville, within a 45 min drive. Thankyou in advance for reading this long post, I look forward to you advice. Paul
