LIFE FLIGHT: Trauma Center Houston

Finally a show about flight transport and trauma...YES! March 2nd Lifetime aired the season premiere of a new documentary/educational show called 'Life Flight: Trauma Center Houston. I was sooo excited when I was told about this show because I am very interested in becoming a flight nurse. When I researched flight nursing years ago, I realized it is not a "simple" process. It requires years of critical care experience and certifications, in different areas. After settling into my career as an ICU nurse, I would like to participate in a ride along with an Air Transport team, particularly rotor-wing (helicopter), to get a better idea of what being a flight nurse feels like. While in nursing school, I read a book called 'Trauma Junkie: Memoirs of an Emergency Flight Nurse' which really gives great insight about the career from a first-hand stand point.
