- 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.
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
I love what yall do I really appreciate it
I want to be that cool when I grow up.
It not about How High We Fly, It's about Why We Fly, Because your life matters to us.
Thank You
All nurses whether they fly or not have that spark.
James R EXACTLY!!!
I want this so bad , I’ve been studying and preparing so hard.
You can do it bredda! get that ICU and ED experience first
Me too bro
Good luck Isaac! Take it a day, min, and even sec at a time! This is something that I’m really thinking about doing now too and it’s so motivating thinking how rewarding and amazing it would be getting to help people and be in a plane at the same time! You got it!
Just graduated as an LVN and this job, this career and lifestyle is my number one end goal. I want all the action in life that comes with saving lives. Get at it and keep working hard.
this is my life goal.
ok
I'm on my way to becoming a flight nurse but I'm unfortunately at time of posting this at square 1 go to school and collage than I need to apply for a job on the trauma ward than maybe a huge maybe after 2-6 years I can become a flight nurse only if I meet the requirements.
tadhg burk did you ever become one
Zackary i’m curious also
Gotta start somewhere
Taylor Sparks still going strong guy thank you for the support
hi my name is Brian Greenup and not Brian Greemup and I'm from Australia just wishing you all a Merry Xmas and Safe new year
So can you go BSN then get you're CCRN then apply after 4 yrs in the e.r ? Im a new grad
CCRN after a year or two of critical care experience, but yes
It depends, if you go to work in the ER you can take the CEN (Certified Emergency Nurse) instead of CCRN. Also having a pre-hospital background, such as working as a paramedic is helpful as well.
@@makenzyjohnsonrn7163 is there really a difference between CCRN and CEN?
@@batalorian7997 yes! CEN is Certified Emergency Nurse. CCRN is Certified Critical Care Nurse.
@@makenzyjohnsonrn7163 i know what the abbreviations stand for, but what is it that they do to makes them different?

Hi can I get off work
It's not a hero job? That's definitely not what we in the public think
I would consider them a hero. They fly in and save your life. Thats about as heroic as it gets
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.
Can you explain what you mean by craziness for those who have not experienced it
@@colelawton4901 @Cole Lawton I started flying in 1991. Almost all medical helicopters were hospital based and the hospitals leased them under a traditional HBS contract with the vendors ( Air Methods, PHI, Med Trans etc). Next came the CBS or community based models. These were programs that were owned and operated by the Vendors themselves. These proliferated during the early 2000s as vendors soon realized instead on the 14% they were making on a HBS contract they could make upwards of 60% on CBS contracts. In the 80 and 90s a transport would cost $1500-$5000. Today they can be north of $45,000! We went from 300 HEMS aircraft to over 1200. Every study has shown the country can operate with 600. A recent study showed over 50% of those being flown today dont meet criteria or need to be flown. 40% are discharged within 24 hours. These companies became publicly traded or owned by financial companies they needed to make huge profits. They scaled back their aircraft and training and jacked up their prices. Now you have bargain basement programs fighting over flights. Dont get me wrong there are still some respectable programs out there doing the right thing but they are few and far between. The industry is a shell of its former self .
@@ralphbove so they overused aircraft services? Overcharges for services? Now services are not good? I'm a pretty simple dude, can you dumb that down for me lol
@@ralphbove I’d recommend you try metro aviation, all of their programs are Hospital based with the exception of a few community based services because they focus on the aviation side and don’t hire Med crew or do any medical stuff, it’s left to the hospital or a local EMS agency to staff EMS for them
“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.
