A good buddy of mine was getting burnt out from bedside and did some training to be a flight attendant PRN to cut down on their hours as an RN. They told me the most stark difference is how aggressive behaviors are treated by management between professions.
A violent patient tries to attack a nurse? “What could you have done differently?”, followed by zero consequences to the patient, security won’t even put hands on them.
A violent passenger tries to attack the flight crew? Tackled by the flight marshal, thousands of dollars in fines, potential jail time, put on the “no fly list”, and management says “Thank you for keeping our passengers safe”.
It was a real eye opener for me.
