Let me first start this thread by saying thank you to anyone who is willing to help me out. I have an assignment due on May 19th , that I am working on and would like to get some others input as I do not work in the Burn unit but it interests me greatly.

These are the questions in which I need to answer:

1. Describe the chosen nursing area and outline it historical development
2. Describe the role of the enrolled nurse in this area of Nursing ( For americans this is a 2 year RN )
3. Discuss the particular needs of the patient and explain the nursing care required to meet the patients needs, including any specialist care
4. Outline the professional affliliations for nurses working in this area and any further education which may need to be undertaken
5. Briefly discuss possiable career pathways, for example community or acute care settings


I have like I said started working on these questions. I have to do a 15 minute presentation on the Burn unit ( I chose this subject of nursing I am interested in) I have tonight FOUND A BOOK IN AUS of the Burn Unit at Griffith University! Also found some really good books in Color of Burns that I can use. I am doing this is a power point presentation..

Any help again would be greatly appreciated. I am going thru all the websites you have all produced on this site as well as other help you have given others.

Thanks you again !
