Flight Nursing & Forensic Nursing

Published

Hey y'all,

I'm currently an LPN student in a high school LPN program and I'm going to get my BSN once I graduate. I understand that it's kinda early to be asking some of these questions, but I'm an ambitious insomniac so I'm here worrying about my future instead of sleeping. Anyways, is it possible to do both flight nursing and forensic nursing at the same time? Both sound so amazing. I want to do emergency/trauma once I get my RN and I understand I need to get a few years of that or ICU under my belt before I can do flight. Also, what are the size limits in flight nursing? I'm currently a 6'2 250 LBS guy, and I know that's probably too heavy for flight nursing, but I've been working on losing weight and I'm doing good (I'm down 32 LBS right now), so hopefully size won't be too much of an obstacle in the future. In regards to forensic nursing, what are the different ways RNs help forensic teams? What settings do forensic RNs work in? Also, are Forensic NPs a thing? What about Flight/Medevac/Search and Rescue NPs? If any of y'all have experience in either or both of these fields, I'd love to hear from you. I've considered both EMS and forensics as back ups for nursing, and now that I know that their are nursing jobs in those fields, I'm really curious about those jobs.
