thanks for posting all of these great, great resources. I'm still very much interested in burn nursing. I think it is time that I contact someone at our trauma hospital to see if I can shadow a nurse for part of the summer. But who to contact, I don't know.......any suggestions?

Thanks again. Sue

I would first talk to HRM to see if you can get some names and contacts and then the unit manager/ area co-ordinator I am sure they would be delighted to have you.

Thanks Gwenith.....I emailed the Nurse Manager of the trauma center who put me in touch with the director of the burn unit. I have to give her a call (as soon as I finish my summer course...soon) and I'll go there to meet her.

But what exactly does shadowing a nurse involve? Just watch what they do/observe...????

and thanks for keeping this thread open with all those links. I'm going through them all...little by little.

When I worked burn it was on job training. At first you only observed and learned about the dressings, and if you still wanted to come back they would start teaching you dressings ect... took me 3 weeks before I was allowed to change a dressing. That was 6 years ago. Loved the work, but had to relocate.
