by EmmyRN2B Jan 15Hell all!
I'm currently enrolled an a nursing program in southern California and I'm hoping to work on a burn unit when I graduate. When I first started to think about burns I didn't think it was impacted, but now I'm hearing of more and more people wanting to enter the field.
In your opinion is the Burn unit difficult to be hired to? Is the competition similar to Peds or Labor and Delivery?
Thanks in advance!

- Jan 15 by dah dohIn SoCal, there are very few primary burn centers in the area. You would have to look into the burn centers to see what the job situation is. It is a very specialized field so you would need specialized training. Other facilities will accept burn patients to evaluate and treat in an emergency but will transfer the patient ASAP to a primary burn center for better patient management. You may have to consider moving out of the area to obtain a position in a burn center or consider starting your nursing career elsewhere and transferring into a burn center when you have some experience. Good Luck!
