  10. Flight Nurses Staffing in the ED

    sjt9721 replied to LSU Nurse's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    I think the OP is referring to flight programs that are part of the hospital. Air Evac is not a hospital-based provider. Flight personnel are employees of Air Evac, not the hospital. (I'm not sure...
