kiyatylese, you will have to let us know all about it! wow, 24 hours on sounds rough. jen

thanks nghtflyguy, that was a reality check! do you know if there is any age limit to be a flight nurse? i am 38, but because I have to do alot of my schooling part time i may be 42 when i finally get my ASN. someone had suggested that i will need my paramedic cert before i can even think about the flight program. do you know if this is a universal requirement? thanks again! jen

great idea about a ride along! bad, bad thing to puke the first day on the job i know it may seem too early to be worrying about it, but i want to be prepared! my eyes are starting to be opened to what being a flight nurse is all about. getting all the training seems a bit overwhelming, but i'll just have to take it one step at the time. better to get the info up front, eh? thanks to all! your great! go gators !!!!

Thanks for your replys. I do plan on getting a LARGE amount of experience first. I already work for Shands Hospital in Gainesville, FL and they have a flight trauma program which I am interested in........way down the line! Of course, all this rides (no pun) on whether I can stand being in a helicopter. Now, off I go to find that book on Amazon.com!

After I graduate I am looking to be a Flight Nurse. Would anyone be willing to write a short response on what goes on in the life of a flight nurse? I would LOVE to read any stories you might have. :typing
