Flight nurse health requirements

Published

I've always tossed the idea around of being a flight nurse a few years down the road after getting lots of different experiences out there. Anyways, I have partial absence seizures that are well controlled with medication. I've not had a seizure in almost 2 years since they finally put me on meds that seem to work.

Anyone with experience as a flight nurse or with their program requirements, I'd love to hear what you think about the seizure disorder being a factor that would keep me from getting a job as a flight nurse. I wouldn't even apply to the job for at least another 3 or 4 years, so if I stayed seizure-free with medication for 5 or 6 years at time of application, do you think I'd be able to get the job or would simply having a history of seizures keep me from qualifying for the position?
