Audrey,
My best advice to you is, visit the propective program(s), of your liking.  
Let them see you, and get to know you.  Keep up to date on all of the 
certifications specific to your area of expertise.  If you have been in the 
ED for 10 years, then you have more than enough experience for flight 
nursing.  Further, if you can take the CFRN exam, this would be a great 
benefit to you as well.  CEN, ACLS, PALS, TNCC, are all appropriate for 
flight nursing.
I wish you well in becoming a flight nurse.  I was in the ED,and the Cath 
Lab for a total of 16 years, all the time keeping my focus on flight 
nursing.  As you can imagine, the turn-over rate in flight nursing is very 
low.  It is truly the best career move that I have ever made Good luck,
                                 Doug Wright, R.N.
