Certification requirements for flight nursing?

["Nicole DuPree" <entencidy@hotmail.com>]

Hello.  My name is Nicole DuPree, and I am currently a junior nursing 
student at the University at Buffalo in New York.  I have been "lurking" on 
this listserv for a few weeks now to learn a little bit more about various 
career opportunities in nursing.  As an assignment for one of my classes 
this semester, we are supposed to pose a question and receive responses 
regarding an issue of my choice.  Therefore, I was wondering if anyone could 
explain to me how one exactly becomes a flight nurse, how many years of 
experience you would need to become a certified flight nurse, and the 
different types of certification/licensure that you are required by law to 
possess in order to be considered eligible for this position.  If I am 
correct in saying so, I also have noticed that EMTs and paramedics are able 
to work in this role as well.  Please correct me if I am wrong, I really am 
ignorant as to the requirements of the job.  If anyone if available to 
explain a this information to me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you 
and I look forward to hearing your responses.

Sincerely,
Nicole DuPree
Junior Nursing Student, University at Buffalo
