Transport nursing involves caring for patients as they’re transported via ambulance or helicopter to a medical facility. It’s a fast-paced environment that usually involves time at the hospital and on the road with patients in need of immediate medical care. This type of nursing can be very challenging and it requires a high level of energy and skill.
Transport nurses have to be strong communicators, coordinating quickly with doctors and other members of the medical staff. Stabilizing patients is one of the central roles of the job, making it a high-pressure position. If you enjoy a dynamic workplace, transport nursing could be a great fit for you.
