Don't worry ur not being a Debbie downer lol these are the types of answers I want, something honest. I know safety is the number one thing but learning how to intubate, central lines, the traumas are the things that make me think about doing this. After I'm done with my bsn, crna is my next plan. So many of my co workers have moved on and are in the program now so I'm just thinking this could be an invaluable experience for me. I still don't know but I really do appreciate your comments, coming from someone that has been through this experience before, it's the best advice

Hello, this is my first post ever on this site. I just had a question for all of you Rns. I have been an Rn now for almost 7 years and have worked in critical care and ER, plus travel nursed for 3 of those years. My question is is flight nursing worth the risk? I was actually approached by one of my coworkers about the company he works for and said I'd be a good fit. So I applied and have an interview in a week. I know the pay isn't the greatest but I'm looking more at advancing my skills. I'm currently in school getting my bsn cause I haven't really needed more than my associates for all this time. I also work at a big hospital in the trauma Icu right now and wouldn't be quitting that job. I have a weekend option position where I work sat/sun and get paid full time. The flight job I'm applying for is just part time, so 1 24 hr shift a week and they know I can't work weekends.... My wife is an Rn too in the recovery room and just works prn so she can stay at home more with my 2 yr old daughter. So what do u guys think? Plus has anyone worked for air methods? What should I study for the interview? Just wanted to get someone's opinion cause my wife is still unsure about me flying lol.... Thanks for any feedback I appreciate it
