What do Flight Registered Nurses do?
Flight nurses are registered nurses (RNs) who provide critical, emergency medical care to patients during transport by helicopter or plane to or between medical facilities.
Their responsibilities include performing advanced life support, administering medications, monitoring vital signs, and stabilizing critically ill or injured patients until they reach their destination.
Flight nurses work as part of a medical team, ensuring equipment is functional and liaising with medical professionals to provide a seamless transition of care.
What they do

Emergency Care: Provide advanced emergency medical care, including CPR, administering medications, inserting IVs, and performing complex life-saving procedures.
Equipment Management: Ensure all necessary medical equipment and supplies are on board and functional, and assist with patient boarding and de-boarding.
Medical Records and Communication: Maintain accurate patient charts and records, and communicate with medical teams at the receiving facility to coordinate care.
Liaison: Act as a bridge between the medical team and flight crew, ensuring both patient care and the operational mission are coordinated.
Typical Scenarios
Inter-facility Transfers: Transporting critically ill or injured patients from a local hospital to a larger medical center with specialized care, such as a major trauma center or cardiac unit.
Accident Response: Responding to scenes of auto accidents or other emergencies to provide immediate care.
Environment
