Flight Nurse Job Description

Flight nursing is when the nurse works for a specific airline, usually as a flight nurse.

Flight nurses generally work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

This job is ideal for a nurse that is looking for international travel opportunities, as nurses are typically free to travel wherever the airline needs them to go.

Flight nurses often work days as well as nights.

Flight nurses often start their shifts before the rest of the crew and must stay until everyone else is on board the aircraft.

Flight nurses work very closely with the flight crew, including flight attendants and the cockpit crew.
