**🎆 A Reminder This Fourth of July 🎆**

As we celebrate 249 years of independence, let's honor the day safely—without risking life-changing accidents. Fireworks are beautiful but not toys. Misuse can bring tragedy in the blink of an eye.

**⚠️ Why we must treat fireworks with respect:**

* In 2024, fireworks caused over **14,700 injuries** and **11 deaths** in the U.S., most occurring around **July 4th**.
* Emergency departments treat approximately **9,700 to 10,000 injuries annually**, with **70–75%** happening between late June and late July.
* Kids and teens under 20 suffer the majority of injuries; **children under 15 account for up to 36%**, and males face twice the risk.
* Most injuries involve **burns (hand, face, ears)** and **eye damage**, with **sparklers alone contributing to 1,700 ER visits last year**.

**🚫 Don’t MONKEY around with fireworks:**

* Even sparklers burn at **1,200–2,000 °F**—hotter than some metals.
* Illegal explosives like M‑80s can maim or destroy property.
* Careless use leads to fires, fall injuries, driving accidents, and even fatal outcomes.

**✅ Safety tips to remember:**

1. **Skip the home fireworks.** Attend professional displays instead—it’s safer and often legal.
2. If you insist on using consumer fireworks:

* Only use **legal, labeled items** from trusted sources
* Keep **water, hose, and first-aid gear** nearby.
* Light one item at a time, keep your distance, don’t relight duds
* Never hold fireworks or allow unsupervised children to handle them—even sparklers .
* Avoid alcohol when handling fireworks, and always wear protective gear (gloves, eyewear).
3. **Know the law.** Many areas ban any explosives—violators can face fines and jail time .

**🙏 Let’s celebrate smart:**

* Let trained professionals light up the sky.
* Use glow sticks and noisemakers for a fun, safe night.
* Ensure kids are nearby, supervised, and educated about the risks.

Let this Fourth be about freedom, joy, community—and safety. Don’t let a moment’s monkeying around with fireworks turn into months or years of regret.

Wishing you a bright, joyful—and injury-free—Independence Day! 🇺🇸

Happy Nurses Week to Our Incredible Flight Nurses!

This week, we honor all nurses—but today, we shine a spotlight on the brave, skilled, and compassionate flight nurses who take patient care to new heights—literally.

From responding to critical emergencies to providing life-saving care mid-air, flight nurses are the calm in the chaos and the lifeline between the ground and the hospital. Their expertise, courage, and dedication make a difference in every mile they fly.

Thank you for your service, your strength, and your heart. You are true heroes in the sky!

What does it take to be a Flight Nurse?

🚁 3 years minimum of critical care experience
🚁 ACLS, PALS, BLS, NRP, CFRN, TPATC, and any other extra certification acronyms you would like behind your name.
🚁 Master’s degree in Tetris – for fitting equipment, bags, and two people into a space the size of a closet.
🚁 Iron bladder – because “bathroom breaks” don’t exist at 1500 feet and above.
🚁 Nerves of steel – turbulence? No problem. Patient coding mid-air? Just another Tuesday.
🚁 Advanced scarf-wrangling skills – for when the rotor wash turns your uniform into a wind tunnel.
🚁 Fluent in radio static and shouting over engines – who needs peaceful communication?
🚁 Magician-level multitasking – one hand on the patient, one adjusting meds, one checking vitals… wait, how many hands do we have?
🚁 Extreme snack discipline – eating a granola bar at 2 a.m. without dropping it in the dark is an art form.

Flight nursing isn’t for the faint of heart—but for those who thrive on adrenaline, teamwork, and saving lives at 160 mph, it’s the best seat in the sky!
