Is is possible to become an Flight Attendant after doing a career in medicine as an RN or PA for 10-15 years?
I'm currently going to school in the field of study in medicine because I enjoy working in hospitals, helping, and working with fluids. I'm 21 and I had rode an airplane for the first time back in December. After that flight, I have started gaining an interest in airlines and airplanes and found that a job as an Attendant would be an another interest for me. So, is it possible for me to lure towards the flight attendant route after being in medicine? Please DO NOT GIVE ME RUDE ANSWERS.
Why not work in air traffic control? You'd make more money than as a flight attendant.
I think it is, and it could conne in handy on the flight if sonneone were to have a nnedical ennergency
I know someone who ran the ESL/bilingual program for a large school system, retired and became a flight attendant. She did it for the flying benefits, which I assume is what you have in mind, too. That was a few years ago, before so many of the airlines consolidated, but I think it's still possible. Flight Attendants no longer have to be 20 years old. BUT I have to say that as an RN or a PA, you'll earn enough to take trips- more than you would earn as a flight attendant. I'm not sure why you'd want to make that change.
I think the major issue is that after 10-15 years, you would definitely not be happy with your career change pay.
YES there's probably someone on the planet that this is possible.
You do not become a flight attendant just by showing up.
You apply and they selected from the estimated 100 applicants for each position.
Suggest you look into medical air service positions.
This Nurse really has an interesting job flight wise.
You could switch around and after your studies, choose to do a couple of years as a flight attendant, and then when you want to gave a more steady career, move in to medicine.
It is possible, but I don't think you would want to do that.
Flight attendants make from $60,000 to $90,000 in the US, and work primarily with the public. The rude, uncultured, uncaring, savage public.
Registered nurses, depending on specialty, make from $70,000 to $110,000. They work with the public one-on-one usually, and other medical professionals. Almost all of their patients are very appreciative of their work.
A PA makes about $10,000 more than an RN, and have little public contact.
If it were me, I'd target the RN/PA track. If you really like travel, there's *no* problem finding traveling nurse assignments, doctors without borders, and the like for which *someone else* would pay for your travel.
- Why do pilots still go to bathroom without having flight attendant in the cockpit? Hi. I thought a flight attendant should go into the cockpit when one of the pilots go to the bathroom because of what the German wing first officer pilot did to the airbus plane. But I was surprised when I saw an Air France A318 pilot getting out of the cockpit and going to the bathroom without having a second person in the cockpit when I was traveling from Paris to Geneva two months ago. Isn't it very dangerous? I thought the rules were changed after that German wings incident?

- I've been applying to flight attendant positions and was wondering how much notice do airlines give you before you must attend training? How much time do you have to say goodbye to family, friends, etc before you go away to the training program? I applied to Delta, United, and American, so if there are varying time frames per airline, please let me know.
