Poll for Burn Nurses...as a student nurse, did you rotate in a burn unit?


I am thinking about doing a study on burn nurses and what factors influenced them to work in a burn unit. As a nursing instructor, I love teaching about wound care/burn care. I am just wondering, how many of you were in a burn unit as a student nurse?
please tell and share your experiences.

thanks
babe

Question Re: Poll for Burn Nurses...as a student nurse, did you rotate in a burn unit?
I will not get the opportunity to rotate through our regional burn center during my clinicals. I would love to; however, it ain't going to happen.

As a burn victim, I have thought many times that I would enjoy the work, especially ICU burn unit.

Question for you:

How would you go about requesting spending a few hours job shadowing in a burn unit?
And what would you think about a request like this?

Thanks

Hello there,

When I was in nursing school, we did not get to rotate through the Burn Unit. However, for my preceptorship I chose the Burn ICU which I was able to do.

I picked it because I am very interested in wound care and I must say - I had the best wound care experience in the Burn ICU during my whole nursing school!

I'd love to work there but as an RN with not much experience - no chance.

I just graduated back in may. I am not working in a burn unit but i was able to rotate through a burn unit at UF shands. I LOVED the experience. It wasnt anything like i expected and before it was over i wanted to work a burn unit. however at the time they were not hiring so no chance for me. I hope to eventually end up in a burn unit. It is a dream job for someone interested in wound care and that type of nursing.
