Royal Flying Doctor Service - Special Guest: Nick Coleman-Hicks - Flight Nurse
We are incredibly fortunate as registered nurses to work within a profession that can offer so much diversity. Whether you’re working in critical care areas such as intensive care, or emergency; in the operating theatre; on a cruise ship; in a prison; in rural and remote areas; as an educator; and the list can go on and on.
There is one area of nursing that I believe a lot of people have thought of at one time or another; I know I certainly have; that can offer excitement, travel, autonomy, challenge and diversity, career progression, you name it, this job has it.
On today’s episode, I'll be interviewing Nick Coleman-Hicks, who currently works as a Flight Nurse, with the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
Hailing from Sydney, Nick has worked within areas such as Intensive Care, and Emergency, and has completed a variety of post graduate qualifications including a Graduate Certificate in Critical Care Nursing; and a Graduate Diploma of Midwifery, and has gained some relevant experience practicing as a midwife, which is a vital skill to work with the RFDS.
Today, Nick elaborates on how he got into nursing; his incredible career thus far; his experiences as a student midwife; the benefits of working in both ICU and ED; and goes into detail of what his job entails as a Flight Nurse with the RFDS.
