Day In The Life: Flight Nurses

What it takes to be a Flight Nurse.

Air Methods crews are some of the best in the air medical business today. As highly-trained professional medical personnel, our staff has an enormous obligation to our patients and their families—not only to assess the nature and extent of a patient's illness and injury and prioritize care needed, but also to assure
safety remains the highest priority throughout the transport continuum.

I live in Pittsburgh, Pa. and am in sheer awe of the Life Flight crews that serve our community through Allegheny Health Network ( Allegheny General Hospital), When I get the honor of thanking them for their dedication, knowledge and skills, they usually humbly reply, " I'm just doing my job" but seriously folks, where would we as a society be without police officers, fire fighters, doctors, nurses and yes, medical flight crews?,  I don't even want to imagine the chaos! God bless our urban heroes.

It not about How High We Fly, It's about Why We Fly, Because your life matters to us.

Air Methods crews are some of the best in the air medical business & today’s “Day In The Life” video series features the EMS role of Flight Nurses. After all, National Nurses Week was May 6-12. Tune in tomorrow for a "Day In The Life" on Flight Paramedics. #EMSWeek2014

LMAO- its a business and a business only thanks to Air Methods. $45, 000 plus for a flight, single engine aircraft, crews with 3 years experience and a whole lot of smashed aircraft along the way. Worked in it for 22 years and got out as the craziness started. Its a joke now.

It's not a hero job? That's definitely not what we in the public think

“I just finished my masters degree in family nurse practitioner”. So did you finish your bachelor of science in nurse? Do you know anyone with a bachelor of arts in computer engineer? How about an associates of science in welder?

I swear, people using a noun in place of a adjective drives me nuts. It makes you sound like you failed elementary reading and writing.
