Hey, RNREMT-P We use Bell 222 UT's and Bell 407's. We used to have an older isolette that fit on to our gurney base but now all the major NICU teams in the Twin Cities have acquired their own isolettes that are made to fit on our gurney base. The isolettes are very nice but pretty huge, it just barely fits, but has full monitoring, vent and even oscillator/nitric capabilities. For crew, we take one of our crew, either medic or nurse that act as a safety officer. The Nicu team usually consist of a Neonatal nurse practitioner, NICU nurse and a RCP. Sometimes an MD will substitute for the NP.

The main place I've looked and placed a resume' is usjobs.com. You actually work for the U.S. Government not the military specifically. However, most of the jobs are in military installations and I'm guessing the work could be in conjunction with active duty military nurses/doctors. One of the problems I've seen, however, is the lower pay compared to what I can make in the US. Also the fact that you get paid in dollars and have to spend in Euros. So you lose a lot of income that way. I was hoping that here are people who have actually done or are doing this now who could tell us about there experiences.

Ditto, what RNREMT-P said. You also might do NICU runs with specialty rn/md/rcp teams , we do that a fair amount with an isolette that fits our gurney base. Scenes are more fun!:chuckle

This is where I started looking. It has a place to post a resume as well. https://my.usajobs.gov/

Hi, I'm new to Allnurses and am thinking of moving to Europe. It seems difficult to get a new license specific to a particular country. And the pay and responsibility is less. So, I was thinking of working as a civilian RN for the military or US government. Has anyone had experience with this?
