TNCC Provider is a standardized, interactive course recognized internationally for providing RN’s core level trauma knowledge. It presents the fundamentals of an organized, prioritized approach to the care of trauma patients by incorporating the latest evidenced-based knowledge and technological advances. RN participants receive a TNCC verification card upon successful completion of the written exam and performance of the skill station testing. Verification is valid four years from the end of the month in which the course is completed. Non-RN’s in an emergency care setting may audit the provider course and will receive a Certificate of Attendance.
