I was out with a girlfriend of mine few days ago and she brought up the topic of being a Flight Nurse. The job scope kept me curious. Hence, I did my research.
Basically, the job of a Flight Nurse is as follows;
- Checking, monitoring and inventory management of medical supplies on planes.
- Researching, studying and attending training on emergency response, treating individuals without hospital backup and managing emergency issues in flight.
- Traveling to disaster areas to support emergency response teams.
- Flying and traveling with private individuals or groups of individuals that require medical attention or the ability to have medical attention at all times.
- Performing all necessary emergency and non-emergency medical procedure while in flight or at the scene of disasters and emergencies.
- Training in emergency response and preparedness. Coordinating training and workshops for others.
