  • Not every nurse stays in the OR for over 30 years. But Jean did. Why? Because in the operating room, no two moments are ever the same. Every procedure, even the familiar ones, is unique. There are high-adrenaline days and moments that require all hands on deck. But that’s when the team shines the brightest. For Jean, it was about more than the work. It was about the people beside her, the purpose behind every shift, and the energy that comes from showing up for something bigger than yourself. If you're looking for a place to grow, to be challenged, and to find your people—this might be it. 🔗 Explore Operating Room RN careers: https://lnkd.in/gDVrybWF

    (2/7) “Most people think our job is like what they see on TV, but I don’t even watch any of those hospital shows because they drive me bananas. Not everything is a crazy emergency, and there aren’t things flying everywhere as we take off. But it can be intense, and it requires a calm approach to high-pressure situations. We have an organized approach to how we do things and a protocol for every situation that’s focused on safety for the clinicians, pilots, and patients. For instance, we aren’t loading up with an actively coding patient. We try to stabilize them the best we can before beginning any transport. But, whether by helicopter, plane, or ambulance, every decision is deliberate and coordinated. At the airport, we start at 5 a.m. and either do a 12-hour or 24-hour shift. At the hospital, we have a 7 a.m. start time. I do an ambulance and helicopter equipment check first thing in the morning, then wait for a call. When one comes in, the dispatcher at Children’s will send a page to everyone on the team that includes where we’re going, the kid’s age, weight, and name, and the reason we’re picking them up. It also tells us how we’re traveling — by plane, helicopter, or ambulance. We aim to leave within 15 minutes of the page. After dropping the patient off at the hospital and completing the trip, we clean up, restock, and get ready for the next call.” Angelique Dreiswerd, RN, BSN, C-NPT, Pediatric Flight Nurse at BJC HealthCare-St. Louis Children's Hospital 📷: Colleen O’Connell Smyth HOSTL + #BJCCareers

    (1/7) “Growing up, my mom was a nurse, so when it came time to choose a career, I decided, ‘I’ll be a nurse, too.’ In college, I heard about flight nursing and thought it was so cool. My grandmother, who was my biggest supporter, put a helicopter on my graduation cake because she never doubted it would happen for me. You need a lot of intensive care experience to be a flight nurse, so I started work in a Level One Trauma Center. I loved the adrenaline, but over time, I realized my true passion was pediatrics. And since I only knew about flight nursing positions for adult care, I assumed that dream was over. Later, one of my friends told me she joined the pediatric flight team at BJC, so I applied, not expecting much because it was so competitive. It’s a hard job to get and a hard job to keep. But to my surprise, they called and offered me a position. I still remember jumping up and down in my living room. I got my dream job.” Angelique Dreiswerd, RN, BSN, C-NPT, Pediatric Flight Nurse at BJC HealthCare-St. Louis Children’s Hospital 📷: Colleen O’Connell Smyth HOSTL + #BJCCareers
