Educational Paths

[Scott Woolf <pseudoscott@voyager.net>]

I have a conundrum...

I have a B.S. degree in Exercise Physiology and am an EMT-B.  While working
in an Emergency Department and for two EMS agencies, and being privileged
enough to get to experience "fly-alongs" with a local Aeromedical
Helicopter, I have come to the conclusion that I think that I may want to
be a flight nurse when I grow up.  

I've tried to read up on as many as I could about the general requirements
to become a flight nurse.  But it doesn't state in any of the sources that
I read what the preferred level of education is for RN's.  So here
specifically is my conundrum;  which educational level (i.e. diploma, ASN,
BSN, or MSN) of RN is generally required/preferred by flight programs?  Is
an ASN and a B.S. in another field enough?  Is a BSN a must?  Would an
entry-level MSN over qualify?

Any directions or advice would be very much appreciated.  Responses can be
made personally to me at pseudoscott@voyager.net or to the group in case
there are any other aspiring-to-be flight nurses out there that are in the
same "non-traditional" boat that I am.  

Fly safe, drive safe, be safe,
