Course Description Frequently Asked Questions
 

TNCC- Trauma Nursing Core Course Class

(Emergency Nurse Association Course) Provided at our Turlock-CA, Merced-CA and Modesto-CA Locations

The magnitude of trauma as a national and international problem is documented by data that identifies injury as being the primary cause of death in persons under age 45. The optimal care of the trauma patient is best accomplished within a framework in which all members of the trauma team use a systematic, standardized approach to the care of the injured patient. Emergency nurses are essential members of the trauma team. Morbidity and mortality of trauma patients can be significantly reduced by educating nurses to provide competent trauma care. The Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) and its constituents have the responsibility to facilitate trauma-related, continuing education opportunities for nurses who provide care to trauma patients.

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 firm foundation in trauma nursing.

Trauma Nursing Core Course (TNCC)
ENA developed and implemented the TNCC for national and international dissemination as a means of identifying a standardized body of trauma nursing knowledge. The TNCC (Provider) is a 16-hour course designed to provide the learner with cognitive knowledge and psychomotor skills. Nurses with limited emergency nursing clinical experience, who work in a hospital with limited access to trauma patients, or who need greater time at the psychomotor skill stations are encouraged to attend courses scheduled for the 20-hour format. The TNCC (Instructor) course is an 8-hour course designed to prepare nurses to become TNCC (Provider) Instructors. The nurse must have successfully completed the provider course prior to attending the Instructor course. The Instructor course emphasizes appropriate teaching strategies as well as correct evaluation methods.

Provider Course Participants
The TNCC may be officially attended by registered nurses (RN's). Other health care providers may attend the course as observers. In order to maximize success in the TNCC (Provider), it is recommended that the participant have at least six months of clinical nursing experience 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.
(2) Day Initial Option: Required for first time participants or expired TNCC cards.
(1) Day Renewal Option: Available on second day of course only if participant has a current TNCC card, then the participant would be qualified for the 1-day renewal. Current card must be present upon arrival.
The cost for the course remains the same if you take the one day or two day option.

Pre-Course Modules (Mandatory)
Successful completion of the pre-course modules is mandatory and verification is due upon arrival to the course.

Organizational Structure
ENA's Department of Course Operations at the National ENA office is responsible for approving, in advance, all TNCC courses and instructors and also monitoring the quality of the TNCC program. The Course Operations Department and TNCC International Faculty will serve as a resource as needed.


Cost / Payment Policy
Payment for the class is Non-refundable and Non-transferable. Successful completion of the course includes scoring a minimum of 80% or greater on the 50-item multiple choice examination and demonstrating all critical concepts and 70% of the total points in the evaluated skill station. If a student does not pass the TNCC Course, no refund will be provided, and no free re-takes allowed. Students that fail the exam have (30) days to retest at our Turlock Center for a fee of $295.00, this consists of attending 2nd day of course from 10:00am - 12:00pm, testing only no review.

Organization of the TNCC Provider Course Manual
The TNCC (Provider) manual is designed to reinforce and supplement lectures and psychomotor skills content. The interactive psychomotor skill stations facilitate initial integration of psychomotor abilities in a risk-free setting which simulate trauma patient situations. The following psychomotor skill stations are included in the TNCC (Provider): Trauma Nursing Process (scenario-driven, interactive trauma assessment), Airway and Ventilation Interventions, Spinal Immobilization, Selected Interventions: Chest Trauma and Traction Splinting. A ratio of one faculty per four learners is required. Each participant is provided the opportunity to practice the identified skills during rotation through the skill stations.
