Jesse Barnett was enrolled in nursing school when a devastating accident put his life on hold. He was lighting a fire for his kids when the gas can in his hand exploded, causing deep, third and fourth degree burns over nearly 28 percent of his body and lung injuries from smoke inhalation. After a month in the Burn & Reconstructive Center's Critical Care Unit, Jesse had his life back and a new appreciation for his chosen profession.
