“TNCC, 9th Edition, prepares emergency nurses for life-threatening trauma cases when every second counts. The course gives you the knowledge, critical thinking skills and training needed to provide high-quality trauma nursing care.” – ENA University
Course Format
- A printed Provider Manual (9th Edition) is available for pick-up from the CSRE Classroom on Parham Road. Additionally, delivery of the manual by US Mail is available to accommodate students attending the course from out of town.
- Online modules are provided through the ENA University (Emergency Nurses Association). Students complete the modules at their own pace, apply what they’ve learned along the way and receive immediate feedback. Take note that all modules must be complete before attending the in-person sessions.
- Simulations offer training using both an individual and team approach. Likewise, skills stations provide students with the opportunity to practice assessment and intervention in a controlled environment.
- One-and-a-half days of instructor-led classroom discussions and skill stations is at the heart of the Trauma Nursing Core Course. Students may stay in the classroom to take the written test or depart after the skills test, on the second day, to complete the written test at home.
Course Prerequisites
- Participants must be a registered nurse who possesses a current unrestricted nursing license to receive verification.
- Licensed practical nurses and paramedics are eligible to attend all portions of the course and obtain CNE hours, but are not eligible for provider status verification.
