What do some of you experienced burn nurses think about new grads. being on the burn unit? I'm leaning toward burns more than I am acute medicine...I have to get back to the recruiter next tuesday!
Hey, congratulations! I will be stalking this thread to see what folks have to say, lol.....I recently accepted a pediatric burns position and I'm a new grad,too! I am PETRIFIED but I am also very excited...I am one of two new grads being hired at this burn hospital. I dunno, for me I can just see myself being able to focus much better on a specialty than the wide range of med/surg concerns. Of course, burns affect the entire body--but it still feels like a smaller focus, and I am very driven to be an "expert" in whatever field I'm in. So I'm hoping that this will turn out to be the best choice for me, despite my fear and overwhelmed feelings....
Of course, I haven't even started yet, rotfl! I have to pass boards first....
Keep us posted on what you decide!
