Outreach Education Trauma Nursing Core Course (TNCC)

Course Description:
The Trauma Nursing Core Course is a 2 day course sponsored by the Emergency Nurses Association.  TNCC is an information loaded course that provides core-level knowledge and psychomotor skills associated with implementing the trauma nursing process. The trauma nursing process is used to standardize the approach to trauma care and is reflected throughout the course and manual.  The TNCC teaches a systematic approach for the care of the injured patient. This course is intended for RNs but may be audited by other medical personnel for CECHs.

Purpose:
Trauma nursing as a discipline refers to the process and content of all the different roles nurses have in the care of the trauma patient. Knowledge is the core of any discipline. The purpose of TNCC is to present core-level knowledge, refine skills and build a strong foundation for trauma nursing.

Course Prerequisites:
TNCC may be officially attended by RNs. It is recommended that the participant have at least six months of clinical nursing in an emergency care setting. 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.

Evaluation:
Successful completion of the course includes scoring 80% or greater on the multiple choice examination and demonstrating all critical steps and 70% of the total points in the evaluated skills stations. The evaluated skill stations are the Trauma Nursing Process, Airway and Ventilation Interventions, and Spinal Immobilization.

TNCC Verification:
Verification will be issued from ENA upon successful completion of the evaluated psychomotor skill stations and the multiple choice examination. Expiration of verification will occur four years from the first day of the month in which the card was issued.

Continuing Education Contact Hours (CECHs):
CECHs are awarded based on hours attended, regardless of performance during evaluation.

Cost:
Course fee: $250.00 for outside participants  /  $200.00 for affiliate hospitals or Baptist employees not requiring TNCC
