I’d like to officially thank Mark K., Flight Nurse and tech guru’s for helping me out. It was his first go-round with his editing software and I am giddy with the results. This entry was taped in one take over 15 minutes at shift change. What you are looking at is some serious flight nurse bed head and quite frankly, I am pleased that Mark and I could wing something so well.
With that said, I will send an official Aero Med calendar to the first person to find the goof and post it in the comment section! (Kevin, you will be getting yours in the next few days so I am officially disqualifying you . . . )
So, Mark—-thanks for the help. And Ronbo/Dr. Mark? You guys are great for my ego!
This is so well done and informative. Am looking forward to the next installment. Do you plan to ever take us for a video flight? Can you actually do that?

@Mark V—not quite, but email your address anyways. That was a goof with a long history
@Nurse Sean—thanks for the trackback.
@Denise—That video is going to take some planning, and will be broken up, but am hoping to do a series that walks all the way through a flight from request to end.
Thanks for the great comments, and I already have an outline for the next installment! Please send me requests and ideas!
That was very well done. I think I will stick with my ground ambulances, when we crash we don’t fall hundereds of feet! I hope the next one is just as cool. Be safe. Shepp
Man, adrenaline-hungry-uber-geeks get to have all the fun (tongue in cheek). Kinda makes you feel sad for people who work in an office that doesn’t beep, whir, hiss, and occasionally get covered in somebody elses blood, doesn’t it?
Emily, awesome video, loved it! Really really enjoyed it once you got into the back of the aircraft, as you visibly relaxed once you were in ‘the office’.
One point from a presenting/performance POV? When you’re delivering dialogue (like at the start, by the aircraft), try and keep your feet still. I know you’re nervous and trying to think on your feet what to say, but I found myself thinking “I can’t listen to her, I’m watching where she’s going!”
You’re military, right? You must have experience of standing still while nervous, just figure like you’re on the parade ground!
Great vlog though, really looking forward to the next installment.
I wanna be a flight nurse!

All things happen in cycles. Unfortunately, I am currently in the “White Cloud” part of my work cycle. That means, dear readers, that I have been the anti-flight nurse. Ground response via mini-van? Yeah, have done 3. My last patient flight was almost a month ago. Blame it on bad [...]
I can tell how much time I have spent at the hangar by how unorganized my life becomes. It is all I can do to ensure the laundry is done, there is food in the fridge and my truck is not trashed. In the past, one by one, these things [...]
Today, Mike posted this video about social media burnout on his blog Family Medicine Rocks. After discussion with Mike about rebranding, I thought this would be the perfect time to address both, once again, via video. So Mike? Tag! You are it!
Working night shift wears me out. We do a lot of “swing shifts” from days (7a-7p) to mids (10a-10p) to nights (7p-7a). Fortunately, in-house rules exist as to how we structure our schedule but I still struggle with those damn nights. Anyone else out there have issues with swinging from [...]
Seven and a half years is a long time. My very first post on crzegrl was on 12 November 2003, a fitting date for me as so many major events have happened on that day for me. I swore into the Army. I closed on my first home. My friend [...]
Tuesday Sunrise through the Hangar Door It has been quite some time since I posted a view from my “Office Window.” During our on-coming shift aircraft checks, I finally found a reason to enjoy the time change. I snapped this with my iPhone through a coffee treated morning haze. Looks [...]
“The Impact of Alcohol on Trauma” On 24 March I am speaking at the Michigan Trauma Symposium in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Every year, the symposium rotates between the three major cities/trauma centers in West Michigan: Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, and Lansing. A few months ago, our trauma coordinator called the hangar [...]
I must, on an almost hourly basis (or even more frequently!), remind myself that planning my work day is neigh unto impossible. Not only is it impossible, but even after starting on a project or task that being interrupted too many times to count is to be expected. Take for [...]
So many times when flying a very ill or injured patient, finding the alcohol swabs is monumentally difficult. As with everything else we do, how incredible when we are able to remove steps from a simple, but essential process. Hmmm, but what I really wonder about is the cost. And [...]
While doing a clinical rotation in OB last week, which is required for my position annually, I was bordering on a minor anxiety attack. For the first time in a very long time, I was without my cell phone. Today, while working on all of my social media accounts, surfing [...]

P.S. I did not mean take us on a flight with a patient!!!
Almost had the opportunity to do just that earlier today. I have posted some video on my YouTube site as well of just us flying.
Here is a window with 3 different flight videos:

And I’ll be sitting right over there *points*.
Once again, I’m absolutely in awe. You rock, Vanna
Hey gorgeous! Lookin’ good.

Cheers Mark

Great job! I’m learning a lot. The flight videos are very cool. Can’t wait for the next installment.

Hi Emily!
Love the video blog!
I was thinking the same as Mark – that your goof was calling yourself a flight nurse vs a flight medic for the military.
Hi Emily,
Awsome video blog! Love to hear and learn all I can about the profession.
Keep up the great work and thanks for what you do……
Is the goof, paramedic qulified vs paramedic certified?
Back to clinical prep I go
John.

Very slick crezgrl. Nice job!!
Excellent work!!! Can’t wait to see the next installment.
