Need help with possible career change

get ur RN and take a few fast track EMT courses(maybe 9months at the most) and become an emergency flight RN Paramedic. you have to work 10-12days a month @ 24hr shifts and you've got all the time in the world to chase your hobbies. and the 24's your sitting in a apartment type setting just waiting for something to happen. so its pretty chill. im looking into it myself.

I was a medic for most of my medical experience(almost 10yrs). Flight RN is nice but it does get monotonous. He is right about having lots of time to do other things. As far as pay, most of the medics I knew, only stayed because they had been with this paricular company and didn't want to lose what they had vested. Most left and worked critical care or ER. Some did the RNA route. Look into travelling nurse also. Great money and you go lots of places. Good Luck. Oh BTW, average burnout for a medic is 5yrs. I was on a high paying truck and the most I made was $13.50/hr.
