What is a private flight nurse?

A Private Flight Nurse provides medical care to patients during air travel, often on private jets or chartered flights. Their responsibilities include monitoring vital signs, managing in-flight medical emergencies, and ensuring a safe transfer between healthcare facilities or home care settings. They typically work with VIP clients, transplant patients, or individuals with critical health needs requiring specialized in-flight support. Training includes critical care experience, flight physiology knowledge, and certifications like CFRN (Certified Flight Registered Nurse).

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the private flight nurse position, and why are they important?

To succeed as a Private Flight Nurse, you need advanced clinical expertise, experience in critical care or emergency nursing, and active RN licensure, often with additional credentials in flight or transport nursing. Certifications such as Certified Flight Registered Nurse (CFRN), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), and proficiency with in-flight medical equipment are commonly required. Excellent problem-solving, calmness under pressure, and strong interpersonal communication skills help manage emergencies and coordinate with medical and flight crews. These abilities are crucial for delivering high-quality patient care and ensuring safety in demanding, unpredictable aviation environments.

What is the typical work environment like for a private flight nurse?

Private Flight Nurses typically work on fixed-wing or rotary aircraft, providing in-flight patient care as part of a small, specialized medical team. The environment is fast-paced and can vary greatly, with missions ranging from medical evacuations to transporting critically ill patients between facilities. Shifts often involve irregular hours, extended periods away from home, and adapting to confined spaces while ensuring patient stability. Teamwork with pilots, paramedics, and coordinate ground medical staff is essential for safe, efficient transport. This role suits those who are flexible, thrive in dynamic settings, and are comfortable making critical decisions during flight.

Children's Nebraska has an exciting opportunity to join our Neonatal Nurse Practitioner Transport team!
Our NNPs work collaboratively with flight nurses to provide state-of-the-art neonatal care, utilizing fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and critical care ground ambulances throughout Nebraska and surrounding states. As a stand-alone neonatal team, we often operate in multiple states within a single shift. Transporting neonates demands critical thinking and places personnel in diverse situations with unique logistical challenges. Are you up for the challenge?
Children's Hospital of Nebraska offers a unique opportunity for a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (NNP) to join our dedicated neonatal transport team. As a free-standing hospital with over 75 years of service, we provide exceptional care to children nationwide, including our 52-bed Level 4 NICU.

We operate four ground ambulances and often utilize Children's Hospital dedicated air assets such as an EC130 helicopter and a Pilatus PC-12 fixed-wing aircraft.
The NNP is responsible for managing the care and transport of neonates from referring facilities.

This position requires proficiency in neonatal pathophysiology and technical skills, including lab and x-ray interpretation, intubation, line placement, thoracentesis, thoracotomy, and intraosseous access. In collaboration with physicians and referral teams, the NNP must demonstrate strong leadership through nursing judgment, decision-making, and problem-solving abilities. As an advocate for patients and families, the NNP must maintain professional conduct and communication. Additionally, knowledge of healthcare economics is necessary to ensure cost-effective resource utilization.
Children's Nebraska Pediatric & Neonatal Transport team was awarded accreditation by The Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems on April 9, 2019.
We offer a comprehensive benefits package:
  • Competitive pay
  • Medical, dental, vision, health savings account and flexible spending accounts
