So You Want to Be a Flight Nurse? The No-BS Guide with Janessa Dean
A note from Janessa: “I have been a nurse for about 13 years, a MICU nurse for 4, a flight nurse for about 7, and retired completely 2 years ago and went all-in as a flight nurse coach and life coach. I run a program called The Flight Prep Academy where I help nurses and medics get into flight and do 1:1 coaching for any healthcare worker or first responder for general life coaching.”
Through firsthand experience, Janessa Dean knows that the best time to begin preparing for flight nurse applications is before you even have RN following your name! Yes, we are talking to you, nursing students!
