New Burn Nurse Here - HELP!

[BertRN07]

I'm a brand new nurse, fresh out of school and I've gone right into the Burn ICU... It's so overwhelming at times w/all the topicals/meds/special considerations regarding the burn pt. Burn Nursing is such a super super specialized field of nursing. How did all you experienced burn nurses get over that? Also - does it become easier to deal w/the sights/smells of the burn unit as time goes by?? I love it so far - It's HARD HARD work though. I know I can do this but I get so scared sometimes!! Thanks - Burn Nurses Truly are the BEST!

Good evening there hope that all's well out there? I am new to all this ,just found this site whilst looking for infomation on nursing burns.I am not very computer 'savy' either so if i make mistakes my appilogies!I have been working in my current post for a year now. I have not regretted my decision so far in regards to the type of nursing that burns needs but like EVERYWHERE else it is sometimes so 'full on' with the work load and specialist care that burns need that i have to take a step back ! Any ways i am now on a burns / plastics cse where i need info on 'Itching', and 'Allografting; there fore if anyone has any info that may be of relevence or help feel free to send, (references req) I am working in a burns rehab unit in England.
