In this 3 part-series, you’ll hear the stories of 3 different nursing careers from within the organisation - from an outback flight nurse, to a male flight nurse and a former nurse, now our CEO.

First up is RFDS Flight Nurse Hayden Wilson. Men make up only 11% of the nursing workforce in Australia, so Hayden has often been in the minority throughout his career.

But, growing up on Norfolk Island, he always knew nursing was the career for him – helping out the local ambulance service whenever he could and taking first aid courses with the cadets.

From there he’s come a long way – and he’s now an RFDS Flight Nurse and has been with the Service in Rockhampton for 2 years and his wife is also a flight nurse with the RFDS, together they have a beautiful baby girl.

Listen to the podcast to hear his journey to becoming an RFDS Flight Nurse.
