Overview of Burn Care 2004
On June 21, 2004, six nurses from the Burn/Trauma Unit on Tower 7D sponsored
a burn care conference for their colleagues. Staff nurses Anita Wright, RN, Rachael
Sargent, RN, and Brenda Craig, RN, initiated the seminar, focusing on the care
of the burn patient. They worked closely with nurse educator Virginia Deraney,
RN, to develop a day-long conference with presenters such as Diane Tavares, RN,
and Jean Watt, RN, covering topics from epidemiology and resuscitation to outpatient
care and rehabilitation. Thirty-two nurses from the Burn/ Trauma ICU, 7A/B, the
Burn Stepdown Unit and Rehabilitation Services attended.
