Our Purpose:
Sometimes Angels Need To Be Reminded Of Their Wings
High stress and repeated exposure to traumatic situations is common not only in Emergency and Critical Care nursing (or most medicine in general) but also in EMS and Firefighting, LE, and Military members. Left unchecked, this can often lead to mental health decline and burnout.
Wings For Nurse promotes skydiving as a form of "therapy" to build mental health resiliency, self-confidence, and camaraderie for those of us in these types of careers. For those afraid to jump, it's a tangible and safe way to overcome a very real fear. You learn to commit and not freeze. It teaches you to live minute by minute and really really focus on the present. Lessons that are so important not just in airsports and people in these careers, but also in everyday life.
Most importantly: IT'S A TON OF FUN
While the name is strictly a callback to the first few years, don't be misled. This boogie is for everyone. MA, RT, MD, DO, RN, EMT-P, Tech, Engineer, Dispatcher, LEO, Active Duty, Veteran, and all their family are welcome. Come spend the Saturday with some pretty cool people. Whether jumper or spectator, it's going to be a core memory. The grill will be hot, Tiki opens after last load, and we'll finish the last load with the swoop-n-chug.
"100% pure adrenaline, some guys snort a line for it, jab a vein for it, all you gotta do is jump." -Bhodi
Can't wait to fly with you guys!
