- 0:33And I can't believe I have a 17 year old and two 15 year olds,
- 0:37it's just very surreal for me. I do not feel old enough and I I
- 0:40definitely don't feel old enough to have an adult next year and
- 0:4418 year old. So I remember just spending so
- 0:48much of the time when they were little thinking about, I hope
- 0:51this gets better, I hope this gets easier.
- 0:53And now I'm just at a point in my life where I'm like, I want

- 1:39with my clients and I also talked about this open
- 1:42enrollment that's currently going on for any nurses that
- 1:46want to get into flight. Nursing, I am going to be
- 1:49running them through a three-month coaching program,
- 1:52which is 10 people that's going to be supportive, but also take
- 1:55them through everything they need to know from mindset prep
- 1:58interview prep and case scenario prep for getting into it and
- 2:01stepping into the new role. So, I hope you enjoy this
- 2:05episode and I can't wait for you to hear a little bit of
- 2:09coaching. And I hope that there are things
- 2:12that you can take away as well as some of the obstacles that
- 2:16you might be facing in your personal Journey.
- 2:24Okay, just some housekeeping things.
- 2:26I'm sure you guys heard what I said before, but I'm just going
- 2:29to repeat myself, feel free to turn on your video.
- 2:32I'd love to see your faces, doesn't matter to me if you're
- 2:34in your pajamas or your hair's a mess or whatever, I'd love to
- 2:38see your faces. If you are able to turn them on,
- 2:41please keep yourself muted. If you want to unmute and the
- 2:45portion where there's going to be questions and coaching, just
- 2:48go ahead and raise your hand. And then I'll ask you at that
- 2:50time to unmute yourself So let's just get started.
- 2:54I, for those of you guys who don't know me or just started
- 2:58following me, I think probably most you guys found me on
- 3:01Instagram. My name is Vanessa, and I've
- 3:04been a nurse for 12 years. The first six of that was in a
- 3:08med-surg ICU and the last six and a half seven years of that
- 3:15has been as a flight nurse. Like Daniel said, I just
- 3:18recently stepped away from flight about two weeks ago, And
- 3:23I'm coaching full time. I started doing life coaching
- 3:26about a year and a half ago, I found it for myself.
- 3:29I heard my first life coach when I wanted to get some help with
- 3:33my teenagers and parenting them, and I just found that it changed
- 3:37my life. It helped me with work life
- 3:38balance. Help me have less stress.
- 3:40It helped me with confidence in my job, and my relationships in
- 3:46my life and time management. And so I got certified in that
- 3:50about a year and a half ago and decided that the Apple that I
- 3:53wanted to help or healthcare workers and First Responders.
- 3:56So I coach people one-on-one with confidence, leveling up
- 4:01work-life balance mindset, work, and then I also helped a portion
- 4:06of nurses that are trying to get into flight nursing and Coach
- 4:10them in interview, prep, stepping into the role, and
- 4:13confidently accepting offers to get into that.
- 4:17So, a little bit of everything with my coaching, but I
- 4:20specifically only help help healthcare workers and First
- 4:23Responders. So if you are on this call
- 4:25today, I'm going to talk about how to get into flight nursing I
- 4:29think when I started it about six and a half years ago, there
- 4:32just wasn't a lot of information out there.
- 4:34There was a lot of hearsay, there was a lot of people's
- 4:37opinions. There wasn't a focused thing
- 4:41that I could go to and say, hey this is kind of the path that
- 4:44you need to get on no matter where I'm at to get there and
- 4:47these are the things that you need to do.
- 4:49And so that's really why I I've opened my coaching tuner.
- 4:52Nurses because I'm helping you with the support of finding that
- 4:57path for you, that fits you good and then just helping
- 5:00disseminate this information to people so that they can get into
- 5:03it. So that they don't let their
- 5:04excuses, stop them themselves. So, the way the calls going to
- 5:08go is, I'm going to just continue to talk to you for
- 5:11about the next 10 minutes. And then I'm going to open it up
- 5:15to either any coaching that you guys want on any obstacles that
- 5:18you're personally facing or any questions that you have about
- 5:22getting there. And Your personal Journey that
- 5:24you are currently right now, and kind of how to bridge that gap
- 5:27of getting there confidently. And then at the end, I'm going
- 5:31to do a deeper dive into what I offer with my coaching either
- 5:35one-on-one or with this flight nurse prep group that I am
- 5:39currently taking a role meant for.
- 5:41So let's start with requirements to become a flight nurse.
- 5:47They're super simple, but people want to overcomplicate this a
- 5:51ton and where I always say is start with the companies that
- 5:56you are super interested in and look at their requirements
- 6:00because most of these companies, requirements are three to five
- 6:04years of ICU or ER experience. There are caveats to this some
- 6:10companies require A pediatric, some companies only require one
- 6:14year or two year of ice. Youõre are some will require
- 6:18your pre-hospital nursing certification or licensure.
- 6:23But most are just, the only requirement.
- 6:25Is that three to five years of ice?
- 6:27Youõre are some companies will also require your CCRN or Cen,
- 6:32but it looks like they are moving away from that because as
- 6:35soon as you get hired, you have two years to get your cfrm.
- 6:38So I it's not a requirement. But what I do offer my clients
- 6:44is to get. The CCRN are Cen.
- 6:46It just makes you look that much more competitive and that much
- 6:49better trying to get an interview and on your resume but
- 6:53not require. So I say that because it's so
- 6:57simple. But people like to add this and
- 7:00have confusion about what's required.
- 7:03And so most of the problems and some of the excuses that I hear,
- 7:07and that your brain is going to want to offer, you is you're too
- 7:11old. Old, you're too young, it's not
- 7:13the right time. I don't know enough, I need more
- 7:17experience. And so if, if your brain is
- 7:21offered you, any of those things, you're in the right
- 7:24place because I'm going to talk in address those things today
- 7:28and I'm going to let you know that you don't need both ice you
- 7:31and er, which I have a lot of clients come to me and say, hey
- 7:34does it, will it look better if I have both and I tell them, no,
- 7:38because the requirements say, or you don't need Vices or
- 7:42specialty, I see use and you don't need a level one Trauma
- 7:45Center. What you get from a level 1, ER,
- 7:51and a rural 5 Betty are are very different experiences and they
- 7:54want both of those people from a level one.
- 7:57Trauma, you're going to get Specialties residents, you're
- 8:00going to get a lot of patient, diagnosis that you wouldn't get
- 8:03to see anywhere else. And so that's going to make you
- 8:06that type of nurse that seen a lot in a rural bed.
- 8:10APR 5. I've bed, you're going to get
- 8:12someone who's super resourceful and nose.
- 8:15Always what take, what they need to get for their patient.
- 8:17And so that's going to make you a very good candidate as well.
- 8:21So it doesn't matter of having what level trauma BR.
- 8:25What level ice you or specialty? I see you.
- 8:28I came from a med-surg Ice you and I had never done a balloon
- 8:32pump or an Impala or an ECMO patient.
- 8:35I never had a pediatric patient. I never had trauma or
- 8:38pre-hospital experience and I still got hired.
- 8:41So, I hope that clears up a little bit of confusion with
- 8:45that. Also, I hear a lot.
- 8:48Well, it's not the right time. I have to get a couple
- 8:52certifications under my belt. I need a little bit more
- 8:55experience, but I want to offer you.
- 8:57It's like having a baby there. For those of you have kids.
- 9:00There's just no right time. It's just the time that you make
- 9:04right to do it. There also is, no secret level
- 9:09of experience or years that you need to Be ready.
- 9:12I think as nurses we followed this very linear path.
- 9:15Where we have this like magic number in our head that once we
- 9:21been a nurse a year or two years, then we have enough
- 9:25experience. But we all know for those of us
- 9:27who have been nurses, that you can see a nurse, who's been a
- 9:30nurse for 25 years, and they just don't have critical
- 9:33thinking skills. And you can also see a nurse
- 9:35that's been a nurse for a year and a super on top of it.
- 9:39And so, I'm trying to help break up this belief that there's like
- 9:43this certain years or level experience that you need to be
- 9:47able to level up and go to the next thing.
- 9:50So again, if any of these are thoughts that you've had before,
- 9:55then you're in the right place coaching will help you work
- 9:58through these. I think that also as human
- 10:05beings and as clinicians we try to solve for the things by doing
- 10:09more things. And so what I see in my clients
- 10:12who are trying to get in Flight is that they they try to solve
- 10:15for getting more experience and going to more units and Getting
- 10:19more certifications but I want to offer you that it's 100% what
- 10:24you think and believe about yourself.
- 10:27And I'm going to say that a couple times because I know that
- 10:30that's like a new concept for a lot of you guys on here but it's
- 10:34about who you are already and focusing on that focusing on
- 10:39your strengths and what you already have to offer and based
- 10:42on what you already know, that's what's going to get you hired.
- 10:49And so I teach that there's four, simple things that these
- 10:52companies are looking for, I've had throughout this year and a
- 10:55half of coaching. I've had many clients.
- 10:57That I've helped get into flights and receive multiple
- 10:59offers and these are the four things that I've taught them,
- 11:03one critical thinking skills. This is really important and
- 11:08most of you who work in ER and Ice you it's required for us to
- 11:12have it. Those are things that can't be
- 11:14taught and we've already been practicing it and utilizing that
- 11:17the second one is that you always get what you need for
- 11:20your patient. You always know what to ask for
- 11:23and how to push to get what you need even if the intensivist, or
- 11:27the doctor doesn't agree with you three, creating rapport with
- 11:31patients in your families. This is so important in flight
- 11:34because often times we have 10 minutes or less to get these
- 11:37family members to really trust us to take the patient from
- 11:40point A to point B or we're with the patient for less than 10
- 11:44minutes in the back of the ambulance on a scene call.
- 11:46And we got to get them to trust us very quickly to put them onto
- 11:49this moving aircraft and get them to a Higher level of care
- 11:52or to a trauma center. And the last one is the team
- 11:55player, you are. These are things that we're
- 11:57going to focus. These are the things that you
- 11:59probably already possess no matter how long you've been
- 12:02working in the ER or that you see you and these are the things
- 12:06that I'm going to teach you as we coach together.
- 12:08I will also go through mindset interview, prep, panel
- 12:12interview, prep, and clinical scenario, prep, and in areas
- 12:16where you're weaker, what I noticed with my nursing clients
- 12:20trying to get into flight Are seeing is that almost half.
- 12:23Sometimes. 3/4 of these interviews are clinical
- 12:27scenarios paramedics and EMTs people who've done.
- 12:30Pre-hospital know how to do scenarios through talking
- 12:33through it as nurses, we fit in these certification classes and
- 12:37they run through scenarios with us with a dummy and we do like
- 12:40real life or real people, but talking over it in an interview
- 12:44and talking it through as much different.
- 12:46So, I give a lot of practice and play to my client that way.
- 12:49This is really what's going to create the Assess for you
- 12:52because they're looking at your critical thinking and what
- 12:55you're doing next to your patient through these scenarios.
- 12:57And so we're going to practice medical cardiac trauma infant
- 13:02and pediatric scenarios. Because this is really really
- 13:06what they're looking at in the interview.
- 13:08Also what I noticed with my ER patients, where their little bit
- 13:13weaker is in oxygenation and ventilation.
- 13:16Most of my ear clients haven't really touched a ventilator very
- 13:19much. They've relied on the
- 13:20respiratory. It's to really take care of the
- 13:22needs of the patient. And so we're going to talk about
- 13:25at the simplest simplest level, what you need to know for
- 13:28ventilators and oxygenation and then my ICU patients, really
- 13:33lack pre-hospital and Trauma experience and release, distinct
- 13:37reports. I know you guys have seen the
- 13:39means of differences between ER and ICU nurses where, ER, nurses
- 13:42give very quick, 92nd reports and ICU nurses, give the whole
- 13:46body system. And so I'm going to teach the
- 13:50ICU nurses. How to do these things very
- 13:52quickly and just talk about pre-hospital and Trauma in
- 13:58general because most of them haven't had experience in that
- 14:00and that's totally okay. I didn't either and I still got
- 14:03hired and my first interview. So I'm going to just reiterate
- 14:08the solution which will get you the result of getting hired and
- 14:12multiple offers are your thoughts.
- 14:16It's completely what you believe about yourself because I believe
- 14:20that whatever we're thinking going in to interview, the
- 14:24client, the flight companies will be thinking about you in
- 14:28the interview that way. So for example, if you go in
- 14:31with I don't have enough experience, I don't know what
- 14:33I'm doing. Then that's what the flight
- 14:35companies are going to think as well during the interview and
- 14:37after the interview. But what you believe about
- 14:41yourself? We'll get you the result of
- 14:43being hired So for example, if you go in thinking, I know
- 14:48enough I have what it takes, I'm a hard worker.
- 14:51Even if you don't say that to them, they're going to feel that
- 14:55from you and that's going to be the difference of you getting
- 14:58hired or you're not getting hired.
- 15:00So I'm going to say it again. I know you guys all think it's
- 15:03how we get there but I'm going to talk to you about who you
- 15:06have to be to get hired and through this interview process.
- 15:11So I want to start out with a little story.
- 15:16And it was about three maybe four years of doing flight
- 15:21nursing. I had this accident.
- 15:23It was about 3:00 in the morning.
- 15:25I don't know. We always remember the early
- 15:27morning calls the most but it's about 3:00 in the morning we
- 15:32took off. I had looked at my phone to see
- 15:34how close the accident was to us and it was only 6 minutes away
- 15:40and so I thought, oh, we're going to get cancelled from this
- 15:44because we have a One Trauma Center.
- 15:45That's very close to our base. I'm like we're going to get
- 15:48cancelled from this. There's no way they're going to
- 15:50just take the patient there. So we landed at seen and I
- 15:54thought, oh, we're Landing. That means that it is really bad
- 15:57and we open the doors to the ambulance.
- 15:59And there was this child. I don't know about how old maybe
- 16:04three or four years old, completely like limp and
- 16:07lifeless my partner and I scoop the patient up.
- 16:11We got in the helicopter. We did all kinds of things.
- 16:14I can't remember. Ember like some of them were
- 16:15before, but most of them were just taking the patient and
- 16:19going and in that course of time.
- 16:24I remember thinking to myself, we got six minutes to get this
- 16:29together. We got six minutes from the time
- 16:32that we take off to the time that we land at the level one.
- 16:35Trauma pad to figure this out and in that six-minute, we
- 16:41placed two lines. We started It we are a side.
- 16:46We intubated the patient. We needed both chest and I
- 16:49remember landing on the pad thinking, I can't believe we did
- 16:55all that. And I also remember my thought
- 17:00was after that, this job is meant for me. and, Maybe you
- 17:08guys have had moments like this in your career so far where you
- 17:11realize like we do her Eric heroic things in a job, where
- 17:15some people, it's just not humanly possible.
- 17:19We do things In our job, where some people will never
- 17:23experience it and they're never going to see it.
- 17:26And I think about that moment a lot because that's what took me
- 17:29back. That's what kept me grounded was
- 17:31that this job was meant for me and so I want to offer the same
- 17:35for you guys. What would you do?
- 17:38If you believe that this is what you were meant to do.
- 17:42What would you think of your excuses then and if you don't
- 17:46believe that this job is meant to me, that's what I kind of
- 17:49want to coach on today or the thoughts that are holding you
- 17:52back from believing that and like I said before, this is
- 17:57really the difference between no offers and multiple offers.
- 18:03I teach my clients that you are picking them, they are not
- 18:08picking you and I think a lot of people go.
- 18:12Into this flight interview prep thinking, oh, I hope they pick
- 18:15me, but I'm going to help you think and get to the thought
- 18:20that you are picking them. They're not picking you in this
- 18:23process. And so after this, I'm going to
- 18:27give an opportunity at the end to talk, even deeper about what
- 18:31I offer in my coaching for you guys and how I can get my
- 18:35clients there, no matter what stage of nursing that they're
- 18:37in. But right now, I want to Open it
- 18:42up till about 9:45, 8:45 45 Pacific Standard time.
- 18:47I know some of you guys are other places so a quarter till
- 18:50the hour to coach and open it up for any questions that you're
- 18:55having. If you can turn on your camera,
- 18:57that would be great. Just raise your hand and then
- 19:00I'll ask you to meet yourself but I'll repeat.
- 19:03What I had just said after the story is, what would you do?
- 19:07If you believed that this were meant that you were meant to do
- 19:10this and And what would you think of your excuses then?
- 19:14And if you don't believe this is job, this job is meant for me.
- 19:18I want to coach on that or what is the thoughts that are holding
- 19:21you back from believing that? And we're going to go to about a
- 19:25quarter till so I know there's only five of you guys here.
- 19:28So I would love to be able to reach all five of you guys.
- 19:31If you have any questions, feel free to put them in the chat box
- 19:35as boxes. Well if you don't want to come
- 19:37on, I'm going to go ahead and open it up.
- 19:48And it's such a small group so don't feel like you even have to
- 19:51raise your hand. Just come off of mute and I'll
- 19:56answer your questions or coach you on anything that's coming up
- 19:59for you. I think my thought is Janessa
- 20:05that it's probably that we on this side of it, we don't know
- 20:09what we don't know. And so you know, I'm sure you
- 20:13find that like very often. We see the minimum job
- 20:17requirements and like this type of people, we're like, know what
- 20:24we do want to do the minimum. Hey, you know, we want ICU and
- 20:28er, we want level 1 and rural. We want all the certifications
- 20:33before we get there and maybe we can get EMT paramedic on the
- 20:37way, you know, like we really want, it's funny because what
- 20:42you and other flight nurses have told me is really those, aren't
- 20:45the things that make a good flight nurse.
- 20:48And so I think that's one of the things for me, you know.
- 20:51Like someone asked me the day, I, you know, I'm transferring
- 20:53from surgical trauma to narrow. Now, just take a little bit of a
- 20:58break for a little bit. Yeah, never would have
- 21:01anticipated. They did that when you and I
- 21:02talked to your go like a slower paced, I see you.
- 21:09But You know, each journey is different.
- 21:14I think like you've told me before and I think it's kind of
- 21:21what we make of it and that it's typically down to the person
- 21:24more. So you know, some asked me the
- 21:27day. They're like, what do you want
- 21:28to do next? I'm like, well, I have like
- 21:29three or four jobs. I want to do before I want to,
- 21:31you know, try to get into flight but those are some of my
- 21:34thoughts though? Yeah.
- 21:36Okay. So let's talk about that.
- 21:39Let me ask you first like why are you wanting to take it?
- 21:42You said I'm going to go to neuro ICU because I'm wanting to
- 21:44take another break. So, tell me what's behind that.
- 21:50Yeah, I'm I mean I'm on a unit that's pretty pretty intense.
- 21:56It's a hospital with a really unique culture but our Travelers
- 22:00come to our hospital. And I say I have you know never
- 22:03been to a hospital where we do art sticks or where nurses do
- 22:07this and that and we have a lot more usually people say
- 22:12autonomy, you know, when they when they come to our hospital
- 22:15and so it's it can be very task. ER I see you Like the, ER, of
- 22:21the ice use contributes to more organ donations than any unit
- 22:27and the state. It's just, it's busy.
- 22:31Yeah, and then yeah, a lot of a lot of death frequently which I
- 22:36know is pretty normal for an ICU but and then I also had a
- 22:40personal loss, you know, one of my friends actually was found
- 22:45down in our break room about a month ago, and that was really
- 22:49hard on everyone. To butt.
- 22:52So there was that. But then there's also been
- 22:54leadership issues for a while, which is created stress, and
- 23:00it's kind of like do your job with your hands tied and your
- 23:02eyes blindfolded, you know what I mean?
- 23:03It's so, yeah. I was like, you know what?
- 23:07I love this place, but I think I want a change for little bit
- 23:11too. Try something different, get
- 23:15used to changing jobs, get used to a different area and staying
- 23:18within the same Health Care system.
- 23:20So, and let me ask you again. You'll, how much longer do you
- 23:24have before you meet the requirements, for the companies
- 23:26you're looking for? I think you and one other nurse
- 23:32have told me to apply it about six months, prior to getting
- 23:35three years experience. So, that'll be about a year for
- 23:37me. Okay.
- 23:38So in one year, you'll be six months shy.
- 23:42Yeah. And one year, I'll have two and
- 23:43a half years experience. Yeah.
- 23:45Okay, great. Okay.
- 23:47I want to go back to the thought that you had.
- 23:50We don't know what we don't know.
- 23:53Tell me about that. Well, I don't know if this
- 24:00thought transfers but I could be pretty critical of like, nurse
- 24:04practitioners, who don't get a lot of nursing experience before
- 24:07they go to being providers. And I almost place that same
- 24:12thought on myself I think before going into a fight Roll.
- 24:17Just, I mean I know flight. Nurses are like an extension of
- 24:20the medical director, right? But still, I mean the level of
- 24:24Independence in decision-making is quite different from bedside
- 24:27nursing, so Yeah, I think I think that's part of it is, you
- 24:34know, the thought that maybe with that, I'll have to rely on
- 24:39my past experiences. You know.
- 24:41So you know, get experience with like devices.
- 24:44Now to do CV, do cervical trauma, do burn to you know go
- 24:50to go to ER and get your initial recognition skills down your
- 24:54Ivy's. Got you know although yeah.
- 24:56But what's interesting though is that most of us who I've gotten
- 24:58into ice you and I'm sure you felt like this too.
- 25:00It's like, you didn't know what to expect to be a nice you nurse
- 25:05But you still took it on. Mmm.
- 25:08So what was the thought that you were thinking going into the ice
- 25:11you after nursing school because you did that right after nursing
- 25:14school. But I did that right after
- 25:17nursing school and I had spent nine months in the ER, and so
- 25:20for me, it was kind of like, eat your vegetables kind of thing.
- 25:23Like, I didn't know what I wanted to be.
- 25:26When I grew up, I had flight in the back of my mind and I was
- 25:28like, let's just do I see you, anyway.
- 25:31I like to nerd out on different topics anyway, and I kind of
- 25:34want that knowledge base. Yeah.
- 25:36So and then I ended up falling in love with that.
- 25:38And now as I float down to the, ER, it's funny getting used to
- 25:44the like patient turn. Over in short reports is the
- 25:48stretching thing now. So, yeah.
- 25:50But what if you could take yourself back to the, you who
- 25:52just did that out of nursing school and was like, Hey, I know
- 25:55the ice you is this thing, but I can do it even though I don't
- 25:58know it yet. That's a famous flight.
- 26:02It's like, I know it's like this thing up here and I haven't
- 26:05experienced it. I don't know what, I don't know
- 26:07yet, but I can still take it on. Yeah, and I want to talk about
- 26:14this. Like we don't know what we don't
- 26:15know. Tell me what we don't know.
- 26:18Tell me what those things are. All the patients we haven't seen
- 26:22all the different areas, you know, all the different things
- 26:26that are unique to the the base that eventually we'll get on to,
- 26:30you know. And what do you do in situations
- 26:36like that? Where and I'm sure even in the
- 26:39ICU, there's been patients that you haven't seen before.
- 26:43What do you do in those situations?
- 26:49I asked people around me all the time and ask questions.
- 26:53I mean, I have, you know, we have all the disciplines there,
- 26:57like at our fingertips, I have nurses who have been there for,
- 26:59you know, a few for 20 years, and I'm like, hey, have you ever
- 27:02seen a patient like this? Like, You know what could these
- 27:05lab values mean like you concerned about that?
- 27:08You know, what else do you do? so I rely on the experience of
- 27:14other nurses other professionals and then rely on my gut, you
- 27:19know, Rely on your what rely on my gun, you know scene and past
- 27:27experience now, which is, which is short.
- 27:31But they're, you know, we you've been a nurse for a year or even
- 27:38three months, six months, you know, when to report an
- 27:40abnormal. So that's that's what we do.
- 27:44What if I had to offer you that flight?
- 27:46Nurses, do all these same things, we asked question, we
- 27:50have the disciplines that are. They're both at this end.
- 27:52And they're receiving and our medical director or base
- 27:55hospital, we can ask other nurses, we can ask other nurses
- 27:59at the receiving or the sending. What do these lab values?
- 28:04Mean we can ask them as well, either with our partner or with
- 28:07our medical director. We rely on the experience of
- 28:10other nurses and professionals. We really have to rely on them
- 28:13and work as a team and then Biggest thing on this list is
- 28:17really rely on our gut. Yeah.
- 28:21Let's carry what comes up for you when I say it like that.
- 28:26So that's new to me, that's awesome.
- 28:28Like, I think I was aware that, you know, you could reach out to
- 28:31the medical director, but I don't know what kind of Reporter
- 28:37what the vibe has with with your with your program?
- 28:41If it's, if it's welcomed if it's, you know, I know typically
- 28:48it's almost like, you know, a resident reaching out to their
- 28:50attending. It's like who scary?
- 28:51I shouldn't do it or something like that.
- 28:53You know what? It looks like.
- 28:53The thought that you had that like to reach out to people.
- 28:56Yeah. What the fuck did you have?
- 28:57That's prevented you from like being gung-ho about reaching
- 29:00out. I mean, I reach out a lot as
- 29:03fun. I thought, I thought at this
- 29:05point I would talk to my providers less.
- 29:08I'm talking to them just as much as I was before because I still
- 29:12have so many questions and I have so much to learn.
- 29:16Still, it feels like so I mean I think I could probably be the
- 29:21fighters to my green jobs, the medical director, a good bit.
- 29:25So yeah. And what if that's okay, Yeah,
- 29:30that's fine. And I didn't I mean, I don't
- 29:35know, I think I would probably tend to go with whatever the
- 29:39Whatever my you know medic is probably saying to because I'd
- 29:43probably rely on the medic a good bit and I didn't know that
- 29:46was new information to me that you could talk to the nurses at
- 29:48the well. Okay, receiving facility.
- 29:51I guess. I didn't know that.
- 29:54Yeah, I mean that makes sense. Yeah, you still have a lot of
- 29:56thought about it before and and what I see like in a lot of my
- 30:00clients is that they think like there's this magical thing like
- 30:05we step into flight and then we know all of these things but
- 30:08it's not. Any better here than it is
- 30:12before you get there. The same thought, still
- 30:16transpire the same thought of like, we don't know what, we
- 30:20don't know happens and we do all those things that you do
- 30:24currently in your current job. And then it's just also like
- 30:29this level of confidence that and having your own back that
- 30:35You have very quickly have to have and very quickly have to
- 30:39learn. I think you get that level of
- 30:41autonomy, right? And the ER and the ICU and the
- 30:43critical thinking that you have to do.
- 30:45But then when you get into flight it's also like you don't
- 30:48have someone to turn to and be like, is this, am I making the
- 30:52right decision? You have to have your own back
- 30:54at a certain level and that just kind of takes like a leap of
- 30:57faith and trust in yourself in a way that you don't really have
- 31:01to do that in the hospital. But that's also like the
- 31:03exciting part of it too. Yeah.
- 31:07And so very common to have this thought, we don't know what, we
- 31:10don't know, but as flight nurses we don't know what we don't know
- 31:13either. Yeah other, we've been here for
- 31:16one year or 25 years. I hope it's something.
- 31:19I enjoy, like, I think I'll enjoy it.
- 31:21But one of the things I love about, I see you.
- 31:23What I get to do. Now, as I get to, like, I have
- 31:27like, saw down all these classes and different mentors, and just
- 31:31like building up a knowledge base as a new nurse too.
- 31:35Really bring that information to help my patients, you know, to
- 31:38let them know hey what they can expect and that kind of thing.
- 31:41And that's what I kind of love about my current job is that you
- 31:44know, we can use this knowledge base to help them whereas like I
- 31:48heard someone on your podcast recently.
- 31:53At the time that the podcast recorded, you had two people on
- 31:56there, and what they had were just a few months into their
- 32:00orientations. I think one of them, one of them
- 32:02said something. What was it?
- 32:09I just lost my thumb. That's okay.
- 32:14We can come back to it. Yeah, I'm gonna it'll come back
- 32:19to me. But what's interesting about
- 32:21that is that the nurses that I coach into flight, oftentimes
- 32:26they're staying with me because I'm helping them step into the
- 32:28role to confidently. Hmm.
- 32:31And these thoughts that they had before they're still having
- 32:36after getting hired. Hmm.
- 32:39And so it's really like taking the time to work through them
- 32:42now because what I want to offer to you is that those like doubts
- 32:46are going to continue to follow you and your whole career.
- 32:48Career, no matter where you are or how much experience that you
- 32:51have. And so kind of like taking the
- 32:54opportunity to dissect it and work through it.
- 32:56Now is, what is going to give you success the whole way?
- 33:03What are your thoughts about that?
- 33:06Yeah, yeah, no, I could, yeah, I could totally see that when I
- 33:12started. And I see a set of my like
- 33:15thought processes that I need to tone down, instead of maybe Vamp
- 33:19up were You know, I came an overconfident and people were
- 33:24concerned and I was like, aw dang it.
- 33:27I'm not typical male in the ICU so and I didn't think I would be
- 33:32but yes, 2nd I can still see some of that.
- 33:37This is what we do is is we pull apart, you know what, you lack
- 33:42what you think that you don't know and we talked about but
- 33:46what is it that you do know? And so like I just want to take
- 33:49a moment to talk about that with you because Cuz as humans, our
- 33:53brain goes to all the evidence of the- things for us.
- 33:57Where were lacking? What we don't know.
- 34:00So I just want to take a moment for you to talk about what you
- 34:04do know and you mentioned a few things to me already to get you
- 34:07started, which was I take what I learn and then I recycle it back
- 34:12through so that I can educate and tell my patient.
- 34:16So, tell me, what are the things that you do know?
- 34:23The things that I know can, can you be more specific?
- 34:27Tell me what things make you great as an ICU nurse.
- 34:36Well, honestly, sometimes it's not comforting, the patient so
- 34:41much because they might be intubated and sedated, it's
- 34:43giving the family an idea of hey, what's next?
- 34:45What we're what they're waiting on, okay?
- 34:48I think a lot of times if you're just coming in, like you have
- 34:50this. So, for context, I work at a
- 34:55level one Trauma. Center on a surgical trauma ICU,
- 34:5740 bed. I see you.
- 35:00It's mostly, it's like 80% trauma, 20% Surgical and a lot
- 35:05of our patients. It's are like narrow traumas,
- 35:08their their TB eyes and spinal cord injuries and so a lot of
- 35:13them are waiting for like brain death testing or you know, a
- 35:21prolonged event weaned these kind of things.
- 35:24And so if this is like these initial tragedies are happening
- 35:29and this family may have never liked all these patients are in
- 35:32their 20s, like they're young, they might be healthy.
- 35:36You know, this, these family members have never been, you
- 35:39know, they might be going to the hospital for themselves or their
- 35:42dark own doctor's appointments, but they're, they've never been
- 35:44in a situation like this and so, you know, the doctors giving
- 35:48them information they step out of the room.
- 35:51And, you know, most of the family members are absorbing,
- 35:54you know. They're, they're kind of
- 35:56comprehending, but a lot of them really are, they're reeling, you
- 36:00know? Like if you've ever had a
- 36:02personal tragedy and what was really personal for me, was
- 36:06actually experiencing this tragedy of my friend, you know,
- 36:12being found, you know, pulseless Cordon Bleu in our break room.
- 36:15Like I think it gave me a better perspective on what these family
- 36:21members are going through to. Because, you know, the the
- 36:24benefit that we have is ICU nurses is We we don't know that
- 36:31person so that there's that level of humanness that's kind
- 36:37of like taken away. We can be a little impersonal
- 36:40and allows us to do our jobs and stay emotionally disconnected.
- 36:43So that we can, you know, empathize with the family.
- 36:46So I think one way that I'm a good ICU nurses that I really
- 36:48liked empathize with the family. Okay.
- 36:51Give them kind of their bearings for what to expect next.
- 36:55How long that could take realistically?
- 36:57Yeah. I would really like it to take
- 37:00for them, you know even though that's not always the case and
- 37:05yeah I don't mean to hog the call.
- 37:07I think what family yeah what else are you good at?
- 37:11Because somewhere down the line. Like I think that little piece
- 37:16that you got at the beginning of your ice, you experience of you
- 37:19came into confident really shut you down from knowing what
- 37:23you're really good at and being proud of it.
- 37:28And this is the you that we got to tap into.
- 37:30I have, I think I have a healthy ego.
- 37:32Okay, great. Bring your ego right now.
- 37:35Bring me a confidence. What is it that you're that?
- 37:37You do know and you're really good at besides giving the
- 37:41family idea of what's happening and emphasize sympathizing with
- 37:45them. I pay attention to details.
- 37:52That others might not, you know, I come in and are like our unit
- 37:57is super sloppy at likely placement, you know.
- 38:00And if I come and I have a nursery with me, I'm like, what
- 38:02is, what is correctly placement? Like, do you know the brown
- 38:05leaves should be at Fourth intercostal space, right in the
- 38:07sternum. Like it's a right-sided lead
- 38:09like you should probably like you're not get like Phillips
- 38:11monitors already suck. Like you should have you leads
- 38:13on correctly just a yeah. You don't even like I kind of go
- 38:16back to the basics a lot of things and like, you know, I'm
- 38:19like, well, so I can get the QT see, like, you know, he's on
- 38:22like three meds that could prolong Katie saying, like, were
- 38:26already had a six run a v-tach, like, why don't we like, you
- 38:29know, okay, what else, what else do you know, what else are you
- 38:33good at I might be good at some Hands-On
- 38:52skills that other that others aren't.
- 38:58I could have a lot of like, I mean, IV placement like using
- 39:02ultrasound to get IVs. And I think maybe asking the
- 39:08doctors for questions for things that like others might not like
- 39:13I think this is where your work is going to be.
- 39:15It will be like, you know, give give a leader of this or give
- 39:18half a liter of this or, you know, give that Med like.
- 39:21Have you like have you checked the IBC, like, have we done a
- 39:24dependent like raised like why are you?
- 39:27Yeah. Like so for example, like are,
- 39:30you know, relies on stroke volume variance like A lot.
- 39:34Yeah it's either that or Pocus for fluid with us and I'm like
- 39:37well like let's get more information that's like I'm a
- 39:41little Mick you and are sick. You know what I mean?
- 39:44Okay, I'm going to read these back to you, okay?
- 39:46Okay and I'm going to ask you a question for you to think about.
- 39:49I asked you what your what you know and what you're good at.
- 39:52You said, giving the family and idea of what's Happening, better
- 39:55perspective on what families are going through, I can empathize
- 39:57with the family, I pay attention to details, that others might
- 40:01not know. I go back to the Basics of
- 40:03things. I'm I have used my hands on
- 40:05skills and I'm good at asking, doctors for questions.
- 40:10Hm. What do you have to believe
- 40:13about yourself that you do know exactly what to do?
- 40:19What do you mean in any situation?
- 40:24What do I have to believe whatever you have to believe
- 40:27about yourself that you do know what, you don't know.
- 40:35Rephrase that for me. What do you have to believe
- 40:38about yourself? That even if you don't know, you
- 40:41haven't seen something that you're going to figure it out?
- 40:49Like that. I know the questions asked and I
- 40:52know the things to look at is that like, is that what you're
- 40:54getting at like, what is it that you believe and know about
- 40:58yourself that you're going to always figure it out?
- 41:01What is it that you have to believe about yourself?
- 41:06I feel very confident in what I do know, and what I don't know.
- 41:09So if I don't know something, I'm pretty confident about like
- 41:11trying to get the answer, okay? Because I'm going back to this.
- 41:15Thought we don't know what, we don't know, but you do know that
- 41:18you do know what, you know. And like you just said right
- 41:22now, I'm confident that I'll figure it out where I know the
- 41:24answer and maybe that's your thought for you to think about
- 41:27and work on. Mmm, I'm confident that I do
- 41:31know. That I do know what to do.
- 41:38Well I can't answer because it's not a problem that your brains
- 41:42wanting to offer you. I need the ice you I need ER I
- 41:44don't know what. I don't know.
- 41:45That's like not a problem. We just have to remind it that I
- 41:48confident that I do know and I know all these things and these
- 41:51things that you listed to me, right here are the things you
- 41:55want to talk about in your interview.
- 41:57His these are the things that are going to stand you apart and
- 42:00these are the specifics that you're going to want to give
- 42:02them because these are your strengths right here.
- 42:05So it doesn't even matter that you don't know what you don't
- 42:08know. It doesn't matter that you
- 42:09haven't seen all of the devices or work bow because you have
- 42:12these things and these are the things you want to highlight.
- 42:15Hmm. Oh and I just remembered that
- 42:18thought in that interview that flight nurse mentioned like she
- 42:21was asking other nurses questions and they're like, I
- 42:24don't know and you don't need like you don't need to ask that.
- 42:27I get told that all the time. Bothers me so much.
- 42:31Nurses are like oh you don't have to know this and you Not
- 42:34have to know. I'm like, no, I like I do happen
- 42:36though. I do have to understand and I
- 42:38just want to believe them that you don't know.
- 42:42Yeah, that you don't need to ask them.
- 42:44You don't have to believe that you can just believe that it is
- 42:46necessary to ask them. So I think like a part of you is
- 42:51just like learning to have your own back in a lot of these
- 42:54situations and knowing confidently, like it's okay that
- 42:57I'm asking those questions and I'm not going to believe them
- 42:59when they say you don't need to know that.
- 43:02Hmm. Yeah yeah because I don't I
- 43:05don't believe this. Yeah.
- 43:07Does that build complete for you Daniel?
- 43:10Yes it does. Yeah.
- 43:11That was helpful. Thank you.
- 43:12Okay. Good.
- 43:13Remember your thought is I'm confident in what I do know.
- 43:15Hmm. It's not a problem, your brain
- 43:18is going to want to offer you this.
- 43:20We don't know what we don't know and I need this and I need to do
- 43:23that. Like that's just what your brain
- 43:25is giving you and it's going to be different flavors of that for
- 43:28you. Especially as you're prepping
- 43:30her flight but I just want to offer you to answer back with.
- 43:33I'm confident in what I do know and remember those things.
- 43:37Hmm. Okay, awesome.
- 43:39Thank you. You're welcome. who else would
- 43:45like coaching or questions, doesn't matter where you are in
- 43:50this process and to flight, whether it's pre-nursing
- 43:53nursing, Whatever it is. I know all of you guys are here
- 43:57because you have some burning questions though.
- 44:00Now, is your time to ask me, I can go about six more minutes to
- 44:10We're putting it into the green. If you could speak to kind of
- 44:15high to like the training for flight nursing again, going on
- 44:20with, you don't know what you don't know that.
- 44:23I've never worked with Peds or, you know, things like that.
- 44:27What would the training be like? Because I'm assuming we won't
- 44:31just be thrown in and absolutely will get some training to learn
- 44:34some more things that we don't know.
- 44:36Yeah. Of course, every company is very
- 44:38different and how they They're training, but most of them will
- 44:41do like a week long or two weeks, long indoctrination, or
- 44:45orientation. Just depends on company to
- 44:49company but they will offer you all of that training.
- 44:51You're going to get FAA training to as far as what you need to
- 44:54know for flight. But they're also going to offer
- 44:58education in that as well, especially for most programs.
- 45:02Intubation is a part of it. And so I'd never intubated a
- 45:06patient before I'd never done pre-hospital.
- 45:08So, Learning to do it. Pediatric and adult was just
- 45:12like a lots of new skills that you learn, but they give you all
- 45:15of that Hands-On training during it and and in it.
- 45:20So I know that's a lot of people's fears, especially
- 45:23people who haven't ever seen it before.
- 45:25I had never had a pediatric patient before, yeah, but you
- 45:30get everything that you need to know.
- 45:31And then you remember, also you have your protocols like you
- 45:35have a big book of protocols, you follow, you have your
- 45:37medical director, you have All the people that you work with,
- 45:41whether it's a bass lead or another flight nurse and then
- 45:45you always have your partner. And I love most of these
- 45:48programs because they're merged with a flight medic and a flight
- 45:51nurse. And so you you have this
- 45:53partnership that's so great because you have flight
- 45:56paramedics who have the same amount of experience that that
- 46:00we have, but on the ground level and so they're, they're experts
- 46:04in the pre-hospital and the trauma.
- 46:06And then you have us who are experts in the hospital and
- 46:09You're never alone. And so, I think people think we
- 46:12make these big high decisions in this job at, it's like, like I
- 46:17talked about with Daniel, you have all these resources at our
- 46:20fingertips do and you have your partner, who's going to be able
- 46:23to offer you that as well. That answer your question, yes?
- 46:29Okay, yeah. I mean I had no pediatric
- 46:31experience either. And so, you know, you really
- 46:36rely on those four things. Like I talked about the
- 46:38beginning or critical thinking skills that like, no matter what
- 46:41the patient's eyes is or adult and infant child, pediatric
- 46:46like, you know what to do, you know, the ABCs, you know, how to
- 46:52get that patient to the next higher level of care.
- 46:54And, you know, in that Moment, What's the best thing for them?
- 47:00Okay, great question. Thank you.
- 47:02Do you have any other questions for me?
- 47:06Okay, click a big thing worrying about.
- 47:09We will be responsible, but there is how I also didn't know
- 47:12you could like contact them medical director.
- 47:15You have other. Yeah, you everybody has their
- 47:17own medical director, you have usually education that you can
- 47:20contact or Clinical Director you can contact.
- 47:23You also have your base Hospital in your area that you can radio
- 47:26over. And then I have a Lavery life
- 47:29for my transfers on the sending position staff.
- 47:32And then also, you can call the receiving physician.
- 47:35And you have lots of different resources and then I think just
- 47:38the key is remembering. You're not alone.
- 47:40That's why you have a partner, whether it's a paramedic or
- 47:43whether it's a nurse, like you have that ability to know what
- 47:48to do with that person and kind of talk through it and feel
- 47:50confident about the decision that you're making.
- 47:57Okay. Someone asked do you put in your
- 47:59own orders or do you follow standing orders?
- 48:01So we don't put in our own orders, we run by protocols.
- 48:06So most companies have a big long protocol book whether it's
- 48:10electronic or whether it's paper and you can like for example RSI
- 48:16or intubate a patient based on those protocols and so you
- 48:20follow those protocols but also if There is an order that we
- 48:26need that is not in that book. You still follow similar to what
- 48:30we do in the hospital I can call my medical director, I can call
- 48:33the base Hospital like I said or I can ask the sending position.
- 48:37There's been many times that I've showed up at hospitals
- 48:40where the patient intubated with no sedation and they're trying
- 48:43to write or talk to you. And so like in those moments of
- 48:47course I'm going to ask the sending doctor.
- 48:48Hey I really need some Propofol and Fentanyl for this one hour
- 48:53flight and So, most places are just very willing to give that
- 48:57to you because they, they want you to take that patient quickly
- 49:00to a higher level of care. So, being able to get the
- 49:04orders, you can ask for those and get them either over the
- 49:08phone from your medical director or from the receiving doctor,
- 49:11just many ways of being able to get the orders.
- 49:13But you have a wider variety and a bigger book of protocols to be
- 49:17able to work through for that great question.
- 49:22Anyone else have any questions for me?
- 49:25It's a nice. It does it take a long time.
- 49:26When you're, like, waiting for those orders, like, does it take
- 49:29a while to contact that receiving facility physician
- 49:34know? Usually we have your dispatch
- 49:37will give you that number or you can look it up.
- 49:39But if it does take a long time, you can always call your medical
- 49:42director because you'll always have a direct number for them or
- 49:46an on-call doctor, through your flight company that will be able
- 49:50to offer you a quick advice. Services.
- 49:53And it's, I found it to be very collaborative.
- 49:56It's like they know that you are in a time crunch and they know
- 50:00you need to get what you need. So I've often used that medical
- 50:03director to help me, facilitate a conversation to that I've had
- 50:06with ascending doctor were maybe we're not necessarily in a
- 50:09grandson of it. Like, for example, if I had a
- 50:12patient, they were taking them on BiPAP and I'm like, this
- 50:14patient is not going to be able to sit up at the degree that
- 50:18they need to sit up at the fio2 of 100%.
- 50:22We Need to intubate this patient so that we can safely transport
- 50:25them and get them there with the correct oxygenation.
- 50:27So let's say, like they didn't agree with that.
- 50:29Your medical director will help, facilitate that conversation as
- 50:32well with a physician. Someone else asks a job listing
- 50:38says, 24-hour week shifts. What does that mean you on call
- 50:42for 24 hours straight or you on a base for 24 hours straight?
- 50:46Every company is different. The company I worked for
- 50:49full-time with to 24 hour shifts a week.
- 50:51I had the best schedule. I worked one 24 hour on one 24
- 50:56hour off and then the second one on and then I had five days off
- 51:00in a row. So the schedule is pretty sweet.
- 51:02Especially when you move to 24 hour, shifts it is It's hard to
- 51:06get used to, as a nurse. Who's only been 12 hours at the
- 51:10flight paramedics? Have an easier time with that
- 51:12because they've already been working 2448 hour shift, but
- 51:14that is what I love about the job, having five days off in
- 51:17five days off, in a row, was so nice.
- 51:20My company we lived at the base and so, you lived there.
- 51:23You're on call. We did a lot of predominantly
- 51:26911, dispatched out. So, we would be dispatched out
- 51:29multiple times depending on what was needed.
- 51:32But some companies do offer like, Can on call where you
- 51:36don't have to necessarily be at the base, everybody's a little
- 51:39bit different as far as their scheduling, but 24-hour shifts
- 51:42are pretty sweet. How much seeing called versus
- 51:50inter-facility really depends on the company that that you're
- 51:54working for an area that you're serving.
- 51:58There's a lot of AG, a lot of water accidents, a lot of skiing
- 52:01accidents, a lot of traffic accidents gang, stabbings
- 52:04gunshots in the area that I lived in.
- 52:07So that's what a lot of the 911 calls.
- 52:09Look like, but sometimes you're in more of a rural area where
- 52:12you're just, not getting a lot of 9/11, and it's really just
- 52:15transferring Out and two other hospitals.
- 52:18But I actually love to the transfers because I'm an ICU
- 52:21nurse and so I loved the complexity of like figuring out
- 52:24their hemodynamics and a ventilator settings and all of
- 52:27that. So it just kind of depends on
- 52:29your area and your program and how many other companies are
- 52:32kind of infringing in that area to how many calls you're going
- 52:35to get in a 24-hour period. Anybody else have any quick
- 52:40questions that I can answer for you?
- 52:48Okay, at this point, if any of you guys are wanting to take
- 52:52this on a deeper level, I do offer one-on-one sessions for
- 52:56people who aren't nurses yet and who are trying to kind of bridge
- 52:59the gap of where they are, and how to get to flight.
- 53:02I work with people who are doing prerequisites, people who are in
- 53:05nursing school. People who are in med-surg
- 53:07trying to move to e.r. ICU or confidently stepping into
- 53:11those roles. And people who are prepping for
- 53:13it, I am currently in an enrollment, I'm taking 10
- 53:16people. Ten nurses who have either had
- 53:19one year of ER, or ice you experience.
- 53:21And I'm going to teach them all of these things that we talked
- 53:24about today but with ease and less stress in a simple format
- 53:28that's going to be fun. It's not going to be like, we
