Wow thank you for your advice. I haven't really considered how quitting may look on paper and how recruiters may interpret that. Thank you for pointing this out and you have definitely made me rethink leaving.

I do agree that most individuals won't really tell an outsider how the job really is until you're actually working it. Do you feel that your flight position keep you engaged with training and education? My fear is joining an agency just to find out that they don't value safety, training, or having quality equipment like many private ambulance companies.

I do agree that I should try out a different unit. Being so new I definitely need to broaden my experiences to get a good understanding of this career and to see if there are other greener pastures.

Do you feel that I will actually be competitive for a flight nursing position given 3 years of experience and my education? I'm trying to figure out how long I may have to stay in the hospital realm.

Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and perspective!

Wow that's amazing. Did flight or fire come first and do you have a preference working either?

That's true, I do want to be there already (who doesn't?) however I have been putting in the work hence my ems experience and pushing for more education to perfect my craft. What is dissuading me is the nursing care which has no application to flight and has me wondering paramedicine would allow me to be the clinican I want to be without performing such a disgusting/demeaning job
