Developed by the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA), TNCC® is identified nationally by the ACS as the minimum standard of trauma nursing education for trauma nurses. TNCC® encompasses core knowledge and interactive skill sessions to aid the trauma nurse in methodically assessing and intervening for critical trauma victims including trauma epidemiology, biomechanics and mechanisms of injury; initial assessment and stabilization of the trauma victim; brain, craniofacial, thoracic, abdominal, spinal cord/vertebral column and burn trauma; shock; geriatric, pediatric, and obstetric trauma considerations; psychological trauma; and transfer and transport of the trauma victim. Experienced nurses may opt to challenge the course. For more information on challenging, call Janelle Glasgow, RNC, CPEN at 614-255-4396.
Pleae note that TNCC® courses are held on consecutive Fridays unless otherwise specified.
Registration is on a first-come/first-served basis with submission of complete registration and tuition payment. All courses are held at COTS unless otherwise noted. Preference is given to employees of COTS member hospitals to within 60 working days of any course. Therefore, registrants from non-member hospitals will be placed on a waiting list until 60 days prior to any course.
