Trauma Nurse Core Course (TNCC) Overview
The Trauma Nurse Core Course (TNCC) given by Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center is a 16-hour course designed to provide core-level knowledge and psychomotor skills associated with the delivery of professional nursing care to the trauma patient. This content is presented through lectures and psychomotor skill stations. Only Registered Nurses are permitted to participate in skills and written test. Other health care professionals may audit the course.
All courses are held at the Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMS-C) Education and Simulation Center on the second floor of the Medical Education and Resource Center (MERK) on the Oak Campus of Cincinnati Children's.
