TNCC, widely recognized as the premier course for hospitals and trauma centers worldwide, empowers nurses with the knowledge, critical thinking skills, and hands-on training to provide expert care for trauma patients.

• Rapid identification of life-threatening injuries
• Comprehensive patient assessment
• Enhanced intervention for better patient outcomes

ENA developed The Trauma Nursing Core Course to establish a standardized body of trauma nursing knowledge and to improve the care of all trauma patients. This seventh edition course combines interactive learning with scenario-based assessments to give nurses a comprehensive learning experience. The course includes:

A Systematic Approach of Initial Assessment

The first few minutes of trauma care are critical to achieve better patient outcomes. The A – I mnemonic and the Trauma Nursing Assessment will assist nurses in providing appropriate and early intervention.

Hands-on Training Using both an Individual and Team Approach

Three Psychomotor skill stations offer nurses the opportunity to practice the systematic approach of the initial assessment in real life situations. The skill stations covered are Trauma Nursing Process, Airway and Ventilation, and Trauma Interventions.

2 Day Intensive Course with Expert Instructors

TNCC is a 2-Day Intensive Course that is taught by expert instructors. There is a faculty ratio of approximately one faculty per four learners.

5 Online Modules with Live Links to Additional Information

These interactive modules allow students to apply what they learn and receive immediate feedback. The modules are a complete case study process—taking the nurses through an entire sequence of care. Online learning allows nurses to learn at their own pace and refer back to information at any time.

24 Chapter Comprehensive Manual

The TNCC Seventh Edition contains evidence-based content developed by trauma experts to reinforce and supplement the lectures and skill stations. It is a compilation of current trauma nursing standards and is a valuable resource for future reference.
