Pier-Olivier Boisvert is a flight nurse and advisor for aeromedical evacuations at the Airmedic base in Saint-Hubert. Here, he talks about his career path, his daily routine, and what makes his job so unique. <\/p>\n

How long have you been part of the Airmedic team?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I’ve been working at Airmedic for a year.<\/p>\n

What is your current position?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I have several roles at Airmedic. I’m a flight nurse, which means I participate in helicopter and airborne missions. I’m also the medical evacuation coordinator. <\/p>\n

What was your career path before taking on this position?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It all started at C\u00e9gep de Trois-Rivi\u00e8res, where I completed my nursing technician program. I then went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in nursing. I gained experience at Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur Hospital in cardiac surgery and intensive care. Today, I work for both Airmedic and the CHUM in critical care, particularly with transplant patients and those who have undergone complex surgeries. <\/p>\n

What made you want to join Airmedic? <\/strong><\/h4>\n

What attracted me was the opportunity to practice in an unconventional environment. Being a flight nurse pushes me to refine my clinical judgment without relying solely on hospital tools. This makes every mission a real professional challenge. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What does your typical day look like?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It all depends on my base. In coordination, I work during the day and handle emergency calls. On call, I can be called at any time for a mission. I report to the hangar for deployment. Every call is different, which makes this job as stimulating as it is unpredictable. <\/p>\n

What do you think is misunderstood about your job?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Airmedic isn’t just about helicopter missions; there’s also a variety of jobs in aeronautics to meet the needs of various government and private services.<\/p>\n

Do you have a memorable mission that you would like to share with us?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

With the arrival of the pandemic and COVID-19, we had to carry out certain missions involving suspected cases. I particularly remember one transfer where the patient’s condition required me to apply my critical care knowledge. I loved applying it outside of a hospital setting. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Flight nurse: a job that combines adrenaline and rigor<\/h3>\n

The position of flight nurse requires exceptional versatility. Thanks to their sharp skills and constant adaptability, professionals like Pier-Olivier provide critical care in the most demanding conditions. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
