AMEN it must most assuredly tak a special person to work with burns! I feel gratitiude for anyone that can do ti because I fear I could not. I have never tried but I have no desire to try either. I agree God Bless Burn Nurses, Doctors and anyone that needs the services of either.

Hope all is well for you and your healing happens rapidly. Remember to keep up the nutrition and multivitamins to maximize your healing.

I am sorry your burned your hands and hope they heal well for you. I used to volunteer to float to burn from the onc/bmt unit I worked on if our census was low. I always felt either of those two units would be the place I could do the greatest good.

As a nurse on a burn unit, thank you for your kudos. But remember, it also takes a patient with good determination to make it all come together.
I was so inspired by the burn team that if I didn't absolultely LOVE my current job, I would join them in a heartbeat!
