- Flight nursing is one of the opportunities you have as a nurse. It's a combination of ICU and ED with a step away from the typical bedside approach. Flight nursing requires many credentials and experience in fields such as ER, ICU, and trauma. As a flight nurse, you are the person making decisions and leading care based on the patient's condition; you have more autonomy than an ED or ICU nurse but also have a wide range of protocols at your disposal.
On episode 204, we would like to introduce you to Madison Vawter. Madison is a flight nurse with a background in ER, ICU, and Trauma. We talk about what a flight nurse does, how to become one, and how to build confidence.

Oh wow I remember her! I was her dispatch at her first flight job! 😊
No way! So cool!
I loved this episode! Thank you so much Madison, I really felt your reliability as a new flight nurse! I tried to find you on social media but I felt like this episode did not outline that? Where can we find you?
I'm so glad! Madrose.g
I would like to contact Madison but I dont have social media. Do you have an email address or even possibly a pho ne number for her? Thank you so much!
I don’t know that I formation but I’m sure you can try to Google her name
At 9:37, RT can do everything a Nurse can do?? Not true. Think you were trying to say something else.
yea. She meant it in the setting of respiratory issues. Like vent settings, ET tube issues, and things like that.
@@CUPOFNURSES That makes sense. I work on a helicopter as a Flight Nurse. I'm in my 34th year of patient transport, but on the side I feel like I've done everything in healthcare and some really odd jobs on the fringes of healthcare. Lol. Such as Penitentiary medicine and the Crime lab to name a couple of the more exciting jobs. Haha
