I cannot thank you enough for your immediate response, not only have you made today which just happens to be my birthday a great day but I am now more encouraged to go for it!!   Knowing that there are so many people out there in the field helping to guide those on their way only makes me want to strive to be the best well trained nurse that I can possibly be.  Have a blessed day!!

I'm currently enrolled in a Nursing Program and planned on pursuing a career as a Flight Nurse after obtaining the skills and certifications to do the job. Recently I was exposed to tile adhesive in my workplace and now have damage to my lungs. Can someone please, please, please provide some information on the changes that occur to the lungs with regards to altitude and other aspects of the job. I'm looking for some input so I will know if the dream of becoming a Flight Nurse is even obtainable. Thank you!!

Lori -

If you have a physician or other caregiver coordinating your medical care,
you can ask them there thoughts on how much physical activity you may be
limited to. As far as altitude goes, this would only be an issue with
fixed-wing transports or at higher altituded in the country, depending on
where you live. Helicopters stay pretty low to the ground and fixed-wings
are normally 'pressurized' so that the high altitude isn't much of an issue.
Even still, you could have a very rewarding job as a transport nurse via
ground ambulance, which will become more and more required over time.

In other words, I think it's still a very good goal but run it by your
medical providers as well.

Good Luck!
