TNCC - Trauma Nursing Core Course

The Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) Trauma Nursing Core Course (TNCC) is a 16-hour, two-day course designed to provide core-level trauma knowledge and psychomotor skills associated with the delivery of professional nursing care to the trauma patient. The information is presented through lectures and psychomotor skill stations. The TNCC has been designed by nurses for any nurse who provides care to trauma patients. It is intended to enhance cognitive skills, to sharpen technical skills, and to provide a foundation for future learning. The ultimate purpose is to improve the level of care provided in emergency care settings, large and small, rural and urban. ENA has recommended TNCC as the minimal required education for emergency nurses who care for trauma patients.
