Rio ASN, RN

mia culpa- deep breath taken- I understand what you're asking now.

Very well written. So many of the stories and situations I can relate to...

Sorry I'm a little late for the dance. If you get this before your interview I hope it is helpful. Be yourself- having no trauma experience is NOT a deal breaker. Nothing is more revealing than a candidate that has all the answers, all the credentia...

Trust Mostly we're all coming from the same place, we want whats best for our patient. If there is a disagreement try looking to the other view. Communication Talk with one another, keep the comm lines open, don't get tunnel vision (hearing). Plannin...

Do you get sick no matter the position in the vehicle? ie, facing forward, sitting on the bench sideways or in the aft facing seat? Getting motion sick should not impede hiring unless it is to the degree you can not perform your job. Background chec...

Between Airmethods and AirEvac there are close to fifty open jobs across the U.S. Does anyone else find that interesting ? Also there are about a dozen on Flight Web..

Ok... so you are "not afraid of a hard work"... then you should have no trouble finding the paragraphs of step by step instructions on how to research, apply and even conduct the interview process in air medical transport that others, and myself have...

The program in Hartford Conn. fly a RN and RT pairing. I think* both need to be EMT's. One may* have to be a Paramedic. If you're already a RT I would go the RN route because of the increased job opportunities and pay. In many programs RNs earn mor...

ahhh... the memories:grpwlcm: right out of school, I landed a fulltime job on the evening shift in med-surg:up: but first I had to orient on day shift :bowingpur I'm not sure why but tht's the way they did things... whaat a nightmare:bugeyes: my prec...

No, you are not too big. Half our medical crew weight about 235#. We even have some pushing 275#. Most programs have a weight limit, ours is 220# with helmet and radio. Obviously our management team does not enforce this policy. Good luck chasing...

You better jump on this guy quick.. he's got one foot in the grave and the other is on a banana peel ! What are you... nucking futs ?

Ok .. don't know about your Union and the Collective Bargaining Agreement... but even in Massachusetts "oral sex with a resident" is professional misconduct. (Especially in the nursing profession) . What did the State Board have to say about this..'c...

Ok... *poof*... you now have the assertivenss to quit the LTC job. This magic spell is only good for 3 days so do not procastinate... Now come here have a hug.... good, now go away.

Agree with the others; keep your license active. I would also advise you not to forget your nursing roots. They will serve you well as an RD. Good luck to you.

I think that this is an ideal time to bust someone's bubble. Before they spend the next three years of their career getting the minimum requirements to enter a transport nursing career only to find out that there is a whole lot more to the job than l...

Anyone interested in air medical transport should be completely informed. The Washington Post series is a concise, albeit journalistic, picture of the industry. The NTSB report is another good resource. http://www.ntsb.gov/Publictn/2009/AB09-HEMS....

pricelessif you are disputing charges then call the program director and explain your concerns.

I didn't find it "extraordinary" either- just throwing out a topic for discussion. There were not that many jobs in the field 5 years ago when I started. Airmethods has over 240 bases in 40 some odd states. Rumor has it AEL is moving to fill the void...

Some good advice, especially that ring kissing, DON'T suck up If you have not found this on your own, here are a couple articles you should read: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/08/21/AR2009082103886.html http://www.washing...

I do not know what they're getting paid on average. However there is some disparity depending on whether the program is hospital or community based. My advice is to find the program you are interested in and then call and ask for the starting base ra...

Hi Lizzy, Could you please clarify that you actually heard them say: "had no OB experience." My next question is: What was the crew configuration ? Two RN's or RN/RRT or RN and Paramedic. Its hard for me to believe that an unqualified flight team wa...

Here is a provider in your area: https://lifeteam.net/ Call the Medical Base Supervisor and ask how much is the starting rate. Looks like there are quite a few openings.

My condolences to the family and friends of the Flight Crew of LifeTeam 76. This thread was started as an opportunity for us to offer condolences. It is my view that discussing HEMS Safety and bad mouthing their company in the same thread is disre...
