Flight Nurse

Start date of 11/16/2026

With a workforce of over 100 in communities from Alaska’s YK Delta to Alaska’s Interior, we give the best air medical crews in the state – if not the country – the opportunity to support critical care patients during transports from rural Alaska to tertiary care centers across the state, major cities in the Lower 48, and internationally.

Position Description

LifeMed Alaska’s Flight Nurses are responsible for assisting in planning, providing, evaluating and documenting direct patient care including those patients with complex and involved care needs outside the hospital setting. Flight Nurses provide care in fixed wing aircraft, ground ambulance, and hospital settings. They must always maintain a safe, therapeutic and organized environment and demonstrate knowledge and skills necessary to provide care appropriate to the age served and to provide the care needed. All duties and care provided will be performed in accordance with LifeMed Alaska policies and protocols. All care delivered during transport will be implemented using written treatment protocols approved by the Medical Director, treatment guidelines received from on-line medical control, and sound clinical judgement.

A day in the life…

Our Flight Nurses are partnered with talented Flight Paramedics caring for patients with a full range of critical care conditions. Transport may take the crew to remote villages, larger cities and hospitals within Alaska, or facilities in the Lower 48. Our patients count on our flight crews to be a calming presence in situations that are new and can be frightening for them and their loved ones, in addition to providing the high-quality healthcare we are known for.

Our flight crews have the opportunity to contribute to achieving overall company objectives by participating in committees, sharing ideas to improve quality of care and increase efficiency, and working shifts at our other Alaska bases. We recently earned a renewal of our CAMTS certification, and Flight Nurses have the opportunity to influence processes, internal communication systems, and other aspects of the business as we set the stage for the continued success of LifeMed Alaska.
