Trauma is a major
threat to the immediate and often long term health of individuals. The Emergency
Nurses Association has responded to the needs of trauma patients by developing the
Trauma Nursing Core Course (TNCC).
TNCC is a course
designed to provide the learner with cognitive knowledge and psychomotor skills.
Specific mechanisms of injury, injury patterns and specific interventions are presented
in lecture and psychomotor skill stations. Practical and written evaluation is required
for verification.
Who can take the TNCC?
Any RN interested in improving their trauma nursing skills. Only RN’s can test.
(The authors recommend a minimum of 6 months experience in an emergency or trauma
care setting).
