Flight Nurse | Flight Paramedic
Same job. Same pay scale.
Critical care clinicians at LifeFlight of Maine are selected from among the best EMS and nursing professionals in the country and are trained to provide the highest level of care within the common scope of practice.
Each LifeFlight team consists of two clinicians, one licensed as a paramedic and one licensed as a nurse. We ask both crew members to perform the same duties, share the same responsibilities, and as a team provide exceptional care to our patients. While their licensing and backgrounds differ, critical care nurses and paramedics at LifeFlight of Maine perform the same role and so they are compensated on the same pay scale.
