Trauma Nursing Core
Course 2016
Why You Need TNCC
Optimal trauma patient care is best accomplished when all trauma team members use a systematic,
standardized approach to injured patient care. You can help significantly reduce morbidity and
mortality of trauma patients by educating yourself on how to be a stronger trauma care team
member.
TNCC provides you with cognitive, core-level trauma knowledge and psychomotor skills experience
in an interactive format. The hands-on psychomotor skill stations help you incorporate cognitive
knowledge into application of skills in a safe practice environment. You’ll benefit from having one
faculty member for at least every six learners.

Course Preparation
Prior reading of the text book is strongly recommended, paying particular attention to Initial
Assessment chapter and the Skill Stations. Successful participants have reported that additional
study time is necessary to pass the seventh edition TNCC course. Your knowledge and psychomotor
(hands-on) skills will be evaluated so advanced preparation is highly recommended.
