Welcome to Frontline static. We will get to hear interviews
0:02
with some of my clients journeys of getting into flight and how
0:05
they utilize coaching to help them create success of getting
0:07
hired with less confusion and more ease.
0:10
Make your dream a reality of getting into flight.
0:12
Listen in as you hear some of the stories of the people
0:14
getting there and come join the flight prep group.
0:18
Welcome to this Instagram live on Thursday.
0:22
I'm going to give everybody just a couple minutes to start coming
0:26
on, but I wanted to really take this opportunity.
0:32
I know you guys have like seen my post on social media, but I
0:35
want to take this opportunity to answer any questions that you
0:39
guys might have or common questions that you guys might
0:41
have about flight. I do have AQ and a button.
0:44
I just want to let you guys know that there is AQ and a like pin
0:48
on my Instagram where I answer common questions.
0:51
I also have a podcast episode where I answer common questions,
0:54
but I wanted to give you guys an opportunity to come on and ask
0:57
me anything. So go ahead and put your
1:00
questions in the comment box or it's also actually easier for me
1:05
if you put your questions in the question mark down below.
1:09
One thing that I wanted to share with you guys is and just
1:13
briefly talk about the three simple steps on how to get into
1:18
flight nursing. And I have a current replay up
1:21
right now of my webinar that I did the free training that I did
1:24
on Monday. You can just click on my link on
1:26
my bio to watch that. That's going to be available to
1:28
watch and till tomorrow at midnight.
1:31
But I wanted to focus on one part of this training.
1:34
So in this training, I basically talk to you about these are the
1:38
three things that I see people spending a lot of time trying to
1:42
get to flight, but it's actually having them take longer to get
1:45
there, having them feel altogether.
1:47
One of these three things is focusing on time and experience.
1:50
I just see so many people chasing time and experience
1:54
chasing level 1 traumas level, I mean level 1 hospital, working
2:01
ER and then working ICU and I just really, really believe in
2:07
it. Cut off for a second.
2:08
I really am a huge believer to stay in one department either ER
2:13
or ICU. It does not be need to be a
2:16
level 1. It can be a rural bed ERICU all
2:19
the way to a level 1 and really grow your leadership qualities
2:23
in it. The other thing that I see
2:25
common mistake I see people make is they are trying to get a ton
2:28
of certification. Now when I was trying to get to
2:31
flight, like Oh my gosh, how many years has it been?
2:33
It's been over a decade. They did require the CEN and
2:37
CCRN, but they have moved completely away from requiring
2:40
any certification. So you no longer need a
2:42
certification. The third thing that I see
2:45
people really spending time focusing on that are having them
2:47
fail or taking them longer to get there is trauma courses and
2:52
most like companies do not even require a trauma course.
2:55
I just always say whatever your department is offering for free,
2:59
whether it's TNCC or ATCN, do that one if you want to get one
3:04
but don't spend extra money and time on these things.
3:08
I see it taking people longer to get to flight because they're
3:12
jumping around from department to department, They're spending
3:16
time and money on more certifications, and they're
3:20
spending more time on money on trauma courses.
3:22
And the only requirement to get into flight nursing or flight
3:26
paramedicine is 3 years critical care.
3:29
So it's either three years as a medic or three years as an ICU
3:34
or ER nurse or any kind of specialty.
3:36
It doesn't matter what kind of specialty as long as it's
3:38
critical care. Now, I highly, highly recommend
3:42
staying in one unit because you want to be growing your
3:45
leadership qualities. Flight companies, because three
3:48
years is the only thing that they require.
3:50
They're really looking at who you are, what you value, and the
3:54
team player you are. They don't necessarily want
3:56
everybody who knows everything in every department.
4:00
And I just see people take longer to get there because
4:02
they're chasing all the certifications, they're chasing
4:05
the trauma certs, they're chasing all of the experience,
4:09
and they're just trying to outrun the thought that I don't
4:11
know enough or I don't have enough time and experience.
4:14
The other thing that I really, really want to offer you is the
4:19
biggest mistake I see people make is them telling me they're
4:22
going to wait till they get to the three years.
4:23
And you don't want to do that. If you know you want flight, you
4:28
want to start working towards it as soon as you know you want it.
4:32
Now, there's a reason why not everybody at the three-year mark
4:36
of working ER or ICU has gotten hired into flight.
4:40
And it's because they really, really want you to focus on
4:44
growing your leadership qualities and your teamwork in
4:47
the department that you're working in.
4:48
So because of that, these are the three things that are going
4:51
to give you a leg up into getting there.
4:53
And I'm going to really just focus on talking about one of
4:56
them on this Instagram Live. So #1 the biggest thing before
5:00
any of this is growing your mindset and growing your
5:04
confidence and critical thinking skills.
5:06
What I mean by this is you do not have to feel ready or feel
5:10
100% confident for this goal, but you must start taking action
5:14
towards it. I knew that I wanted flight
5:16
nursing when I was in nursing school.
5:18
And so because of that, I really highly encourage you if you're
5:22
in nursing school, as soon as nursing school to start taking
5:25
action towards it. These actions are these three
5:28
things. One, grow your mindset, grow
5:31
your confidence, grow your critical thinking skills.
5:34
Part of this is if you're a doer like me, you don't want to
5:37
hustle and you don't want to overwork.
5:39
You want to make this action plan work for your current life.
5:43
Meaning you want to do this in a simple and a doable way.
5:47
This leads me to #2 #2 to getting the flight is having a
5:51
well mapped out plan inside my program, inside the flight prep
5:55
Academy. I give you a well mapped out
5:58
plan no matter where you're starting, whether you're nursing
6:00
school, nursing school, just graduated critical care nurse,
6:05
two to three years, 1-2 and three years.
6:07
I have a plan for each of those years and things that you can
6:10
start taking action on. So having a well mapped out plan
6:13
is super important because it keeps you on track and keeps you
6:17
out of confusion. I hear from a lot of people I
6:19
don't know where to start. I don't know what to do when you
6:22
have a plan, it keeps you on track and it also prevents you
6:25
from hustling and doing a lot of things.
6:27
You just do these simple things on the plan and I really teach
6:30
you what those are. The third most important thing
6:34
that I want to talk about today in getting into flight is doing
6:37
ride alongs and making connections with flight
6:39
companies. You want to do this as soon as
6:42
nursing school. I have lots of nursing students
6:45
and in fact pre nursing students inside the flight prep Academy
6:49
and they are doing ride alongs. In fact I just got a text
6:52
message yesterday from 1 insider community who did a ride along
6:56
and had two scene calls on her ride along.
6:59
Ride alongs are awesome. These are the reasons why you
7:01
want to be doing them early on. Ride alongs are a relaxed
7:05
environment where you can get to know the teams and they can get
7:09
to know you. You want your name to be a name
7:12
that they know before you hit the three-year mark.
7:15
You also want to give yourself an opportunity to quote, UN
7:18
quote, speed, date a bunch of companies.
7:21
You want to figure out what you want in this company.
7:24
And I liken it to marriage. For most of you, flight is the
7:28
end all be all goal. It's your dream job.
7:31
So you wouldn't just go into marriage before marrying someone
7:34
and be like, OK, I'm going to pick this one person and I'm
7:37
going to marry them. And that's what I see a lot of
7:39
you guys do. You say, oh, I'm going to wait
7:40
till the three-year mark. Once I hear the three-year mark,
7:43
then I'm going to just marry this person.
7:44
But it just leaves things out of your control.
7:46
It leaves things out in the whim.
7:48
And I want to let you know it's so competitive that you don't
7:51
want to be that person who waits.
7:53
You want to start working towards it as soon as nursing
7:55
school. And so dating a bunch of people
7:59
gives you an opportunity and a relaxed environment for you to
8:02
figure out what you want and for them to get to know you.
8:06
So you want to go into these ride alongs basically with a
8:09
checklist of thinking about what do I want in the flight company
8:11
that I'm going to marry even if I'm in nursing school?
8:14
Think about the things that you value.
8:16
Is it education? Is it management?
8:19
Is it safety? Safety is a big thing that we're
8:22
talking about in the flight community right now.
8:25
And so you want to start thinking about what are those
8:27
lists? And as you date a bunch of
8:29
companies, as you do these ride alongs, as you make these
8:31
connections, you can see which one of these companies or bases
8:35
fit in these subsets. And also what you want in the
8:39
company that you're going to quote, UN quote, marry might
8:42
change and might be different. This also gives them an idea of
8:46
who you are. So as you're doing these base
8:48
visits, as you're doing these ride alongs, they're like, oh, I
8:51
know Janessa, she's this person. This is the kind of team leader
8:54
she has. These are the kind of questions
8:56
she asks and you want to continue to do them with
8:58
multiple bases and the same bases over and over.
9:01
In fact, I highly recommend to the people inside my program.
9:05
We're doing these 6 to 8 times in six month period.
9:09
So we're doing about 12 a year or actually, I'm sorry, 6 to 8
9:13
in a year. So we're doing about 1:00 every
9:15
other month. Now when I teach you how to do
9:18
them inside my program, you're going to realize they're super
9:21
easy to get. I have one person I just posted
9:24
on her a couple days ago. I taught her how to do a ride
9:26
along in the first month that she joined and she did 6.
9:30
And while I don't recommend doing 6 because you don't want
9:33
to burn yourself out, I do highly recommend doing 1 every
9:36
other month. And once you start to do them,
9:39
you're going to see what it's like, what the job's like.
9:42
You are going to be hooked. You're going to see what it
9:44
tastes like. You're going to see like what
9:46
the crew is like and what the job is like.
9:48
And you're going to just love doing them and want to continue
9:51
doing them. And so This is why ride alongs
9:54
is so important. You also want them bought into
9:57
you before the interview. It's going to be much different
10:00
if they invite you to a flight interview and then in the
10:05
interview, you know everybody who is interviewing you, it's
10:08
going to be more relaxed and they're going to be bought into
10:10
you. This is actually how you get
10:12
hired in the flight. You do not want to rely on
10:15
waiting till there's an open application.
10:17
I hear people say that all the time.
10:19
That's the worst thing that you can do.
10:20
You're never going to hear back from these companies because
10:23
when there's an open application and they have already filled
10:27
that position, it's just part of down putting it on the Internet
10:33
that they have an open requisition number.
10:35
So what they do is what I'm seeing flight companies do now
10:39
is they're polling people who've been doing these right alongs
10:42
and making connections with them, interviewing them and
10:45
saying, hey, we don't have a spot open right now, but we'd
10:47
love to invite you to an interview.
10:49
So they interview them and if they like them, then they say,
10:52
OK, we have you on a roster. And what they do with this
10:54
roster is they say, hey, when a position does open up, we are
10:59
going to invite someone from this roster.
11:01
We're just going to give them an offer.
11:03
And then they post the requisition number online and
11:06
that's what you guys are seeing. And then you don't hear a call
11:08
back and you're like, oh, I guess it was that meant for me.
11:11
I guess they don't want me. But that's not true.
11:13
It's just because they have already been pre interviewing
11:16
people. They've been inviting people to
11:18
interviews who've been doing these ride alongs and they
11:20
already have now a roster ahead of time.
11:23
I want to give you an example of this.
11:25
I have a client of mine. She has been flying for about a
11:29
year now, I believe. And she started, she she let me
11:35
back up, she came to me and she's like, I really want to get
11:37
into flight, something that I've always wanted to do.
11:40
And here I am at I think she had been a nurse about four years.
11:45
She's like, I've been a nurse for about four years and I work
11:48
in float pool and I'm so far away from the school now.
11:52
And she goes, what I'm thinking is I want to get a job in an ER
11:56
or an ICU. I'm studying for my CE and right
11:58
now and I'm trying to take this pre hospital and this trauma
12:02
course. And I'm like, OK, what we're
12:04
going to do is we're going to get rid of all of that.
12:06
And she said what? And I said in your plan, we are
12:09
just going to get you hired into an ER or an ICU and we're just
12:14
going to focus on getting right alongs with the several
12:16
different companies. And she goes, OK, like, I don't
12:20
know, I, I don't get it. That's not what I've been told,
12:22
but let's do it. And she said, OK, so we got her
12:25
into an ER. I think it was like a Level 3 or
12:27
a level four. It wasn't like a level 1 trauma,
12:29
which is totally fine. She started working that part
12:32
time and then she started getting ride alongs with
12:36
companies and asking, asking for ride alongs.
12:39
Then she started doing two or three and after the second one
12:42
she came to me and she said they really loved me so much.
12:45
The crew said, let me see your, your resume and we got her
12:48
resume flight ready. That's something I help you do
12:50
inside the program too. And that's where we look at
12:53
specifically what flight companies are looking for.
12:54
And she said, they asked for my resume and they put it on their
12:58
fridge and they said this is who we want to hire next.
13:01
And I was like, that's awesome. And she's like, and they want me
13:04
to continue to do ride alongs with them.
13:06
So she did one more ride along with them.
13:09
I think this was her second one. She came to me after like 3 or 4
13:13
months of, of following this plan.
13:16
And she goes, they actually asked me to interview and they
13:20
told me, Hey, we don't have a position open.
13:23
There's not going to be a position open probably for 6 to
13:26
18 months, which is like a huge range.
13:30
But we we really like you and we want to invite you to just pre
13:33
interview with us. That way when there is a
13:35
position, we can just extend an offer to you.
13:37
And she came to me. She's like what?
13:39
Like I've only been in ear nurse for six months and they're
13:41
wanting to interview me. So they interviewed her, they
13:45
really loved her. They said, congratulations,
13:47
we're going to put you on this roster.
13:48
She said great. And then she came back and she
13:50
came back to me and she's like, I know it's not going to be like
13:53
probably going to be 6 to 18 months, but it's OK.
13:55
I'm going to keep doing my thing.
13:57
So I think 3 or 4 months had gone by and she and she text me
14:02
and she's like guess what? And I'm like what?
14:03
She's like an opening opened at their base sooner than they
14:06
thought. And I was like what?
14:08
And she's like and they offered me the position and she was just
14:12
a perfect example of having a well mapped out plan where
14:16
you're not doing all of the things where you are just
14:20
focused in on the few simple things that will get you there.
14:24
And then also how ride alongs made such a difference because
14:29
that's how you get invited to the interview.
14:31
And I'm noticing most fight companies are moving to this
14:34
anyway where they're creating rosters and people that they
14:37
like from these ride alongs and then they're just pulling from
14:39
the rosters when there's openings.
14:41
So that is a reason why you do not want to rely on open
14:44
positions. You're too behind on that, so I
14:48
hope that was helpful and you guys thinking about why ride
14:51
alongs are so important and they're so much fun.
14:54
So I just want to recap the three things that you think you
14:57
need to be doing that are actually taking you longer,
14:59
having you fail all together. Getting to flight is working all
15:03
the different departments, trying to get all the different
15:05
time and experience, getting more certifications that you
15:08
don't need, spending money and time on trauma courses that you
15:11
don't need. And these are the three things
15:14
that actually you want to be doing that are going to move you
15:17
closer to Flight 1. Working on growing your mindset,
15:20
your capability, your confidence, getting that on
15:23
board. If you believe that flight is
15:26
possible for you, if you believe who are flight nurse, other
15:30
companies will too. And that's why my clients make
15:32
that transition into flight nursing so easily.
15:35
That's why they're finishing orientation before they're set
15:38
orientation date, because they've already become that
15:40
flight nurse before it happens for them.
15:42
So you want to start working on that mindset #2 You want to have
15:45
a well mapped out plan. You want to be sticking to
15:49
simple, doable things that are going to move it closer to you
15:53
so you're not taking a bunch of action and hustling and
15:55
overworking and #3 the biggest thing you want to be doing ride
16:00
alongs, making connections and networking with flight
16:02
companies. This also 3.5 thing is you want
16:05
to focus on flight interview prep specifically.
16:08
A lot of people tell me they focus on this by opening books
16:12
and sort of studying certification tests and stuff
16:15
like that. You do not want to go into
16:16
flight interviews expecting them to be like critical care
16:20
interviews. In flight interviews, they don't
16:22
want to know anything about your time and experience.
16:24
They just simply want to know who you are, what you value, and
16:28
the team player you are. So because of that, I have an
16:31
entire flight interview prep course where I talk about panel
16:34
interview questions, who are the key players, how to answer them
16:37
authentically, and then I also talk about case scenarios.
16:41
How do you verbalize them and how do you walk people through
16:44
them? Even if you haven't had that
16:46
type of patient before, even if you've never seen a pediatric or
16:50
an infant patient before, I have this whole systematic process
16:54
that I take you through in my flight interview prep course
16:56
that gets you ready for any a scenario that you can utilize
17:00
and confidently go through. And then I also teach you
17:04
minimally, clinically what you need to going into these flight
17:08
interviews and the formulas that you need to have memorized.
17:11
And so I just want to offer you guys, I want to talk about one
17:17
other thing for you guys. And I just want to kind of tell
17:19
you about what is included in the flight prep flight prep
17:23
Academy and why it's so important to have all of these
17:28
mapped out plans and to have your flight, your flight plan
17:33
ready and to be doing ride alongs and making connections
17:35
with companies. So I hope that that got you into
17:39
motivated to start doing ride alongs and start making the
17:42
connections, start taking action now towards your flight goal.
17:45
So inside the flight prep Academy, I'm going to get you
17:48
completely ready no matter where you're starting in this journey.
17:51
Again, if you are a nursing student, pre nursing student,
17:55
just graduated nursing school or already working critical care,
17:58
you're going to have a well mapped out plan inside this
18:02
group. And I've made this group
18:04
lifetime membership. When I first started it, it used
18:07
to be a small group and I didn't like that because all of you
18:10
guys were at different levels of getting to flight and different
18:12
parts of your journey. And I really want to be able to
18:17
you and mentor you all the way to the flight offer and then
18:20
also beyond that for however long you want to fly.
18:23
So because of that, we have about 100 people inside the
18:26
flight prep Academy and there's about 30 to 40 flight nurses and
18:31
flight medics already currently in there too that I've helped
18:33
get hired. And so you get to also have be
18:36
in a community with other flight nurses and flight medics.
18:38
So I'm going to talk about the flight prep Academy now and at
18:41
any point you guys can DM me flight or comment flight for it
18:44
to be sent directly to your direct message information on
18:48
it. But I'm going to talk to you a
18:50
little bit about what is included in it.
18:52
So inside the flight prep Academy, it's not just a
18:55
program. I do have a member portal where
18:58
I lay out a five step process. I'm going to talk about that for
19:01
you in a second that you can go back and watch anytime.
19:04
But I think it's really key to have ongoing weekly support.
19:08
So because of that, we have weekly calls every Tuesday.
19:11
It's a set date and time and you don't have to come live to it
19:15
because I know all of you guys were shift work.
19:18
All the calls are recorded and you can watch any of the replays
19:22
anytime of our weekly calls inside the member portal.
19:25
I think it's really key that as you formulate what your plan is
19:29
to get to flight, as you start taking action towards it, that
19:32
you have that support. So these weekly calls are made
19:35
for you to come and talk about and get coaching on.
19:38
What are the obstacles that you're facing with your mapped
19:40
out plan? Maybe what's coming up for you?
19:42
How do we build your confidence level?
19:45
How do we do this in a balanced way so that we're not hustling
19:48
and overworking or any other thoughts and feelings that are
19:51
coming up for you? This also normalizes
19:54
conversations. So I had an e-mail, someone who
19:57
came to me and was like, hey, there's been a lot of medevac
19:59
crashes, can you talk to me about safety?
20:02
So every every week, we're normalizing having some of these
20:06
conversations. What are some safety things that
20:08
we should be thinking about in companies that we're looking
20:10
for? And we're just normalizing not
20:13
doing it alone. Are you facing imposter
20:15
syndrome? Are you having doubt?
20:17
Are you nervous? We're talking and coaching on a
20:19
lot of these thoughts and feelings every week.
20:21
So I think it's really important to have a weekly call where
20:24
you're putting your plan to action.
20:26
So you have that inside my group.
20:28
The other big thing that is included inside the flight Prep
20:31
Academy is an ongoing community group chat.
20:34
This is honestly my favorite part of it.
20:36
This is the community and support that I wish I had when I
20:40
was a nurse and when I was a flight nurse.
20:43
This is involves people all over the United States, so you can
20:48
tap into this community group chat 24/7 for support.
20:52
So what this looks like is hey, it's 8:00 on a Tuesday night and
20:56
you're spinning and you're like, Oh my gosh, I'm so confused.
20:58
They haven't wrote me back yet and now I don't know what to do.
21:01
You can tap into this group and say, hey guys, I need some
21:03
support on this or you can get coaching from me.
21:06
This is so nice because this will prevent you from
21:08
overthinking your head and spinning and getting an
21:11
overwhelm. So you can tap into this
21:13
community group chat 24/7 for support.
21:15
The other way that I've been seeing it used is some people
21:19
are like, hey, I'm getting ready to take my CN or my CCRN.
21:23
What are the best resources to use for this?
21:25
So people ask that question and then they get that out of there
21:28
or they're like, hey, I'm getting ready to study some 12
21:30
leads. What's a good reference sheet
21:32
that you guys use? Or another one that I've seen
21:34
too is I'm getting ready for this big flight interview.
21:37
Is someone willing to like go over some questions with me and
21:40
do a mock interview with me And they're like, yeah, let's go
21:42
over it. So this is your own support
21:45
group to be able to tap into to get support 24/7 from anyone
21:48
there. And I think this is the key part
21:51
you guys to getting the flight is not going at it alone, not
21:55
getting stuck in your head, having people who have a common
21:58
goal and then also people who have been there to help support
22:01
you along the way because I know what you're going through.
22:04
The third part that's included in this is you have an online
22:07
member portal. So in this member portal, when
22:10
you first join, there's a welcome video and then you have
22:13
my five step process in there. And there's videos that you can
22:16
watch on demand in the five step process.
22:18
I have mindset. What's a mindset that you need
22:22
to be able to be nervous and have doubt and work towards this
22:25
big flight goal. The second video is mapping out
22:27
your plan. So in this mapping out your plan
22:29
video, I talk about no matter where you're starting, what your
22:32
plan should be and what are the simple things that are going to
22:34
move you forward. The third part is how to get
22:37
right alongs and make connections.
22:39
So as soon as you watch this, you'll be able to secure right
22:42
along in the first month of joining.
22:44
And then the 4th video is how do you get your resume flight
22:47
ready? So I hone in, even if you're in
22:49
nursing school, this is really good for getting your resume
22:51
critical care ready. I hone in specifically on what
22:54
flight companies are looking for, what to include in there,
22:57
what not to include. And then I have a mock flight
23:00
resume. So you can use that as a
23:02
template too. And then in the video, I go over
23:04
three or four people's resumes. You can kind of see like what
23:07
I'm talking about, what you should include and not include.
23:10
So you'll have your flight resume very clear.
23:12
And that's kind of the first thing that we go over together
23:14
once you join is your plan and your flight resume.
23:17
And I will work that individual with you on the calls.
23:21
And then the 5th part of my process is getting ready for
23:24
your ride along day. OK, so you secured these ride
23:27
alongs. Now how do you get ready for
23:28
them? So on this video, I really am
23:30
talking to you about what questions to go in asking what
23:33
to wear, what to eat, what not to wear, what not to eat and
23:37
what to kind of expect on your ride along day.
23:39
So you can watch that anytime, even if it's quickly you want to
23:43
reference it before your first ride along.
23:45
And then you have the interview prep course, which is the
23:47
three-part course. I have worksheets attached to
23:49
that. I talk about the mindset going
23:51
into the panel or into the interviews, the panel
23:54
interviews, typical panel interview questions.
23:56
I have those attached and then the case scenarios.
23:59
And then I have a worksheet attached to that that walked you
24:02
through a systematic process on how to verbalize them.
24:05
And then also what you need to know minimally, clinically going
24:10
into it. So RSA drugs and intubation
24:12
formulas and all of that. So you know exactly what to
24:14
expect from flight interviews. I have people who come and join
24:18
my program, binge watch the flight interviews, go to their
24:21
interview the next week and get hired.
24:23
Like, and I just want you to know it is so, so valuable.
24:27
Actually just had a client who texted me yesterday and said he
24:29
just got an offer. I'm going to post that today on
24:31
Instagram. But he just got an offer and
24:33
that's what he did too. He binge watched the flight
24:35
interview prep course and he went to the interview and they
24:39
extended an offer to him. So you're going to get all these
24:43
videos, the five step process, the flight interview prep, the
24:48
community group chat, and the ongoing weekly calls.
24:51
You will get all of this for $2000 inside the lifetime
24:55
membership inside the Flight Prep Academy.
24:57
Now I know for a lot of you guys that sounds like a lot of money
25:00
and I want to offer you guys. I spent a ton of money trying to
25:04
get to flight. I tried to get all these
25:06
certifications, all these testings, all of these trauma
25:11
courses, all of these classes and you do not need any of that.
25:17
I am going to give you every single thing that you need all
25:21
the way to an offer and beyond to flying and help you
25:24
transition confidently inside the flight prep Academy.
25:28
This investment is going to give you your time back.
25:31
I am helping people cut their timeline in half of getting to
25:34
flight. I help that nurse get hired in
25:36
the flight after one year of working ER and that is just
25:39
simply by following this plan and you're going to get the
25:42
support in the community. So there's two ways.
25:46
There's there's two ways to join.
25:48
Actually, not two ways. One way to join 1.
25:51
You can click on the link in my bio and you can click on the
25:54
link that says join the flight prep Academy.
25:56
You can also DM me flight and I'll send it to you or you can
25:59
comment flight. Now there's two different ways
26:02
to make a payment. There's a painful option, which
26:04
I always suggest doing just painful be done with it.
26:08
You have to think about it again.
26:09
You can go all in on your goal with the painful for the
26:13
lifetime membership of the program.
26:15
You're going to get all the things that I just talked about
26:17
and you will also get a one-on-one call with me.
26:20
So on that one-on-one call, we can go over your plan.
26:23
We can workshop your resume. We can do flight interview prep.
26:26
You get all of that for free. If you do the painful option.
26:29
I do also offer a payment plan option.
26:32
Ioffer A6 monthly payment of 360.
26:35
If you go to my website, which is linked to my bio or if you
26:40
comment flight now or DME flight, if you click on that,
26:44
you're going to see the two payment options there.
26:47
I am offering right now a bonus offer for those of you guys who
26:52
join. So whether you do the payment
26:54
plan option or the painful option, I'm giving everybody who
26:58
joins before tomorrow, January 16th at midnight, I'm giving you
27:03
a Friday flight check in. What that means is on WhatsApp
27:07
individually every Friday, I will be checking in with you do
27:11
either by text message or voice memo.
27:13
That way you can build the momentum in the first month of
27:17
joining. So you're going to have four
27:19
individual private check insurance with me if you join my
27:22
program before tomorrow at midnight, January 16th.
27:27
And doesn't matter if you do the painful option or the six
27:31
monthly payment plan option. Three questions that I want you
27:35
to ask yourself. Will this decision move me
27:39
closer to my flight goals? Does this increase my chance of
27:43
success versus doing it on my own?
27:46
And the third one is can I figure out how to make this
27:49
investment? If the answer to all three of
27:53
this is yes, then this is the program that you want to be in
27:56
'cause I am going to help you achieve this in a shorter amount
28:00
of time. Not overworking, not hustling,
28:04
and doing it in a doable way. And I'm going to teach you the
28:07
actions that will move you forward towards flight, that are
28:11
going to help you increase your capability and your confidence
28:15
in moving towards this goal. Again, you do not have to feel
28:18
ready or confident before going for it, but you do need to start
28:21
taking action towards it. If you know you want it, stop
28:25
scrolling, stop thinking about it.
28:27
Be the person who starts today securing your first right along
28:31
this month and starts taking action and having a well mapped
28:34
out plan. I just had people in the three.
28:36
Well, I'm not including the one who just texted me yesterday and
28:39
got hired, but I had three people in the last month get
28:42
hired in the flight 2 full time positions and one part time.
28:45
And so I want to offer you if, if you don't want to do this
28:47
full time, that's OK too. We'll help you get a part time
28:50
job or a per damn job. Last couple thoughts that I want
28:53
to offer you, if you're watching this, you are capable.
28:58
You belong in flight. This dream was put in your heart
29:02
for a reason and I am so thankful and so glad that I
29:06
followed that for myself because it was the best job ever and it
29:11
was so rewarding and it's more than what you even can imagine
29:15
it to be. So finish what you started,
29:17
start taking action towards it and if you want it, I have got
29:21
you. OK you guys again comment flight
29:24
or DM me flight if you want information on how to join and
29:29
if you join you are going to get that Friday flight check in with
29:33
the individual for check insurance with me if you join
29:36
before tomorrow night at midnight.
29:38
OK, I'm going to go back and scroll through any questions and
29:42
if you guys have any stick them in the question box right now
29:44
because I want to go over any questions with you guys as well.
29:52
OK, someone asked, is it easier to be a flight nurse or a flight
29:56
medic? Both have similar requirements.
29:59
I wouldn't say 1's easier than the other.
30:01
It's just whatever route you want to go.
30:03
Both are trained very differently.
30:05
There's a reason why you have a flight medic and a flight nurse
30:07
because the flight medic brings all the pre hospital experience
30:10
and the flight nurse brings all the hospital experience and it
30:12
just makes for a really, really good partnership.
30:15
So it just depends on if you want to go EMT medic route and
30:19
really work the pre hospital route or if you want to go
30:21
critical care their route and work the the hospital route in
30:25
getting there. Both do the same job so it just
30:29
depends on which one you're more interested in and and I highly
30:33
recommend not doing both. I have a lot of nurses ask me
30:35
should I go and get my medical license and I say no.
30:38
You really just want to focus in on honing either being a a
30:41
really good critical care nurse or a really good medic.
30:45
Good question. OK someone asked is there some
30:54
sort of special training or anything that nurses have to do
30:57
in order to do ride alongs? Nope.
30:58
You can do a ride along as a nursing student or even someone
31:02
who's interested in flight. I took anybody who asked me if
31:05
they want to do a ride along. I had to get in OK by my manager
31:08
but I had people who weren't even in nursing or in healthcare
31:11
who I who I helped. They did ride alongs with me.
31:15
So most companies will allow you to do them now that kind of
31:18
COVID has moved through and is over.
31:20
Good question. Come join.
31:22
I'm going to teach you how to do on the month you join.
31:25
Is there a state that's more favorable for flight?
31:27
No, I really am a big believer that you can get hired anywhere
31:32
in the United States. And in my program I teach you
31:34
how to secure ride alongs and how to get hired to any flight
31:38
company inside the US. There's different kinds of
31:40
flight companies. There's hospital based flight
31:43
companies where the the flight nurses are employed by the
31:49
hospital and they basically they're basic is the hospital.
31:54
So they impact when they're when they're not flying or they don't
31:57
have a call. So you work for the hospital.
31:59
And then I worked for a company that was private, where it's a
32:03
private air ambulance company, which those are more common.
32:07
And so I'm going to teach you how to get hired in any of
32:10
those. And really you want to be dating
32:12
all those different types of companies so that you can get an
32:15
idea of like what's a good fit for you?
32:16
Because some people want to do hospital based flight nursing
32:20
and some people don't. Good question.
32:24
OK, I don't see any other questions.
32:26
I hope to see you guys inside come and join us so that you
32:29
guys can get that bonus before tomorrow.
32:31
And then as always, I answer each and every person's
32:35
questions individually. You're so welcome.
32:37
Thanks for asking those questions.
32:38
They are really good. So I just hope that this
32:42
motivates you to get going. Start taking action.
32:45
Let's get you a right along this month.
32:46
Let's get you 6 if you want, but let's start taking action
32:49
towards this goal. 2020 to 26. This is the year that you're
32:52
gonna get your flight nursing goal, have it mapped out, start
32:56
taking action towards it, or get hired if you want it.
32:59
I've got you. Alright guys, that's it for
33:00
today. See ya bye.
33:03
If anything in this episode sparked your interest into
33:05
getting into flight, come join my flight flight group.
33:08
We are an entire community that meets together on a weekly basis
33:11
with an ongoing group chat. And if you are already flying
33:14
and you are currently a flight nurse or flight medic, you can
33:16
join my all flight clinician group as well.
33:18
You can click on the link to join in the show notes or you
33:20
can DM me on Instagram. I hope to see all of you guys
33:22
inside.
