I am hopefully (fingers crossed) getting my CEN next month. I also have ACLS,
PALS and my BSN, what other certifications do you think would be helpful?

on the ground critical care transport

to have different departments (Trauma, Cardiac, Peds, etc) inside the ER
which would limit your experience unless you rotate through all of them. My
idea would be to stay where you are-or find a Level 2 which isn't as
specialized and divided so you can get more exposure to different areas of
nursing.



I am the Chief Flight Nurse for the largest air ambulance provider in the
state of Colorado-if I were looking at your application, I would want ground
experience, well-rounded critical care experience (meaning both ER & ICU),
and also either CCRN or CEN. You can get your CFRN after you hire onto a
flight service-most places give you 6mo-1 year.



Let me know if you have more questions k? I know nurses are notorious for
"eating their young", & being rude to new-comers into the flight industry.
Feel free to pick my brain if you like. ;o) Here's my personal email too--

I was wondering what kind of experience I would need. I have worked in a
trauma level 3 hospital for 3 years. I want to transfer to a trauma level 1
center. I know I need ground team experience first. We have a critical
care transport team at the hospital I work at now. Would that give me
enough experience?
