Tell Me About Flight Nursing
I was asked to assist a nursing student with a project in which he needed to explore a specific type of nursing of his choice. I was honored and excited that he chose flight nursing. Below is my answer to him and thought it would be a good overview for anyone thinking about becoming a flight nurse as well.
My official name/title is:
Emily J. Bennett, MSN, RN, APRN-BC, CFRN, CEN, CCRN, NREMT-P
(Nursing and its continued plague of credentials for “credibility” makes me insane, but it is the game we play)
