FLIGHT NURSING
WELCOME TO THE NATIONAL FLIGHT NURSE ACADEMY (NFNA) WEBSITE
The National Flight Nurse Academy, founded as a partnership between Case Western Reserve University and the MetroHealth System, does the following:
- prepares acute care nurse practitioners to practice in unstructured environments
- conducts interdisciplinary disaster-response training during its annual summer camp
- conducts research to build the evidence base for practice in air medical services
Summer Camp 2009 |
Once again we thank all our participants and volunteers for making our annual summer camp a great success. Click here for a photo slideshow. |
One of our clinical partners, Metro LifeFlight, has transported more than 60,000 patients since 1982. Metro LifeFlight flies four Sikorsky S-76's that are supplemented by two ground units and fixed wing aircraft as needed.
