A Certified Flight Registered Nurse (CFRN) is a nurse who has passed a certification exam and met certain qualifications to provide medical care to patients in an aeromedical setting, such as on a fixed-wing or rotor-wing aircraft.
The certification is offered by the Board of Certification for Emergency Nursing (BCEN). It requires a current RN license, a minimum of two years of experience in emergency nursing, and a certain number of flight hours. CFRNs are responsible for providing advanced life support, managing medical equipment, and making critical decisions to ensure the safety and well-being of patients during transport.
