Hannah Kimmel Juggles Two Jobs—Nurse and Flight Attendant. Here’s How

Описание: RN Hannah Kimmel proves you don’t have to choose one path. In this episode, she shares how she balances hospital nursing (PRN) with a full-time flight attendant schedule—without burning out. We cover flight-attendant training, reserve life, bidding, bases, crash pads, and how nursing skills translate at 30,000 feet (medical kits, AEDs, MedLink, and diversion decisions). Hannah also dives into her work at a postnatal retreat, her flexible month-by-month workflow, and the real pros/cons of non-rev travel.

In this episode you’ll learn:
-How Hannah built a dual career: unpaid FA training, probation, seniority, and bidding your perfect month
-Reserve vs lineholder life, trading trips, and stacking days for longer stretches off
-What’s actually in the aircraft medical kit (O₂, BP cuff, pulse ox, AED, IV supplies) and how inflight care works
-Nursing beyond the bedside: postnatal retreat nursing, PRN hospital shifts, and avoiding burnout
-Non-rev 101: flying standby, partner airlines, taxes/fees, and trip-planning mindset
-Breaking in: monitoring application windows, interview tips, and picking a base
-Why social media can be a nurse’s third income (and community)
