Burns are traumatic injuries that, in many cases, are of high severity and may have significant physical and emotional impact, requiring a multidisciplinary approach in addition to immediate care to prevent complications such as infections. This experience report presents the perspective of nurse residents in management working in medical and surgical clinical areas, focusing on the care of patients with burns. The study was conducted in a teaching hospital in the state of Paraná, Brazil, between September and October 2024. It was reported that the etiology of burns ranges from accidental to self-inflicted, and that hospital care for burn patients is based on institutional protocols, which include fluid resuscitation according to the Parkland formula, analgesia, removal of foreign bodies adhered to the lesions, and performance of dressings, as well as the development of an individualized and interdisciplinary care plan aimed at a comprehensive and humanized approach. Contributions are offered regarding the challenges and best practices in this type of care, which contribute to improving the quality of care by allowing the identification of effective strategies and areas for improvement, in addition to encouraging research and innovation in the field of nursing, enabling professionals to reflect on their practices.
