*Major tears * I also have always wanted to be a burn nurse. I was not the burn victim but I was the 7 year old girl taking care of my mother with over 80% burns. My older siblings were too grossed out to change her dressings so I was in charge of dressing changes and applying and taking off her body suit (and the skin that came off with it) I have wanted to be a nurse since I was 4 but the experience I had with my mom's doctors and nurses solidified my decision to become a nurse. I'm 31 and have been a nurse for 9 years and love it!
