Hi all,
I'm going to be graduating with my BSN this summer and wondering how one goes about setting themselves upon the path to become a flight RN? How did you get into flight nursing? I know positions are elite and competitive, and since it's something I'm interested in I know I should start preparing now...
Thanks in advance!
