9th Edition TNCC - OCTOBER

The Trauma Nursing Core Course (TNCC) is a one and a half day course developed by the Emergency Nurses Association to present a firm foundation in trauma nursing and to provide nurses with core or basic trauma cognitive knowledge and psychomotor skills that are associated with the delivery of professional nursing care to the trauma patient.

The goal of TNCC is to improve trauma patient outcomes by providing nurses with foundational trauma knowledge, skills, and a systematic Trauma Nursing Process to guide trauma patient care.

Verification of successful course completion is based on passing the written exam and the Trauma Nursing Process (TNP) psychomotor skills station. Verification is valid for four years.

Participants must be an RN to receive verification.

It is preferred that participants have at least six months of clinical nursing experience in an emergency care setting before attending the course. It is assumed that the course participant possesses generic nursing knowledge, has an understanding of emergency care terminology, and has familiarity with standard emergency equipment.

Pre-course preparation is essential. This includes completing the online modules and studying the 9th edition TNCC Provider manual. The Provider manual will be mailed to you 6-8 weeks before the course.
