Hello all. I'm soon to finish up an ADN program and have been looking at job openings around the state. On UAB's website, I see plenty about them hiring BSN's, but NOTHING about ADN's. The job listing says that BSN is preferred, but preferred doesn't mean required, right? So you'd think that ADN's are able to fill the positions. I figured all new grads (BSN and ADN) have to go through the nurse residency program they have, but the program requirements says it is open only to BSN's. Any ideas? Any and all help will be appreciated!

First of all, let me say that I mean not to offend any employee or affiliate of AEL. Secondly, if you ever fly the 407 (which has a useful load of 2332#) fully loaded, the handling of the craft is second to none. The 206 (I've flown both), on the other hand, with a two-rotor system and useful load right at 1483#, is a weaker platform. Control surfaces lose effectiveness, and the tail rotor is a nightmare with a pilot, patient, two crew members and necessary equipment on-board. If you fly a 206, or fly IN a 206, more power to you. I am not working to offend you here. As far as AEL falling out of the sky, the "just about" was intended to notify the reader that there is no factual evidence, merely an opinion based on the news headlines I've seen in the last 5-6 years. Didn't mean to lead you astray. :)

It's no surprise to me that AirEvac seems to CONSTANTLY be looking for folks to fly. Funny that just about every time I see the headline "Air Ambulance Crash" on the news, a picture of a red, white and blue Bell 206 follows. That's what happens when you use an SUV for a full-size truck's job.
