ATCN® Instructor Course

Description

The ATCN® Instructor Course is designed for the experienced trauma nurse working in the emergency department, the perioperative area, intensive care, medical and surgical units as well as the prehospital setting. Nursing skills practicum stations and moulage assessment stations are conducted by ATCN® instructors for the integration and application of didactic information.

The skill stations are based on an interactive "hands-on: scenario-based approach" to adult education. The practical testing stations allow ATCN® students to demonstrate the application of ATLS® and ATCN® information on a moulaged patient. Please note that this course is designed for nurses. Practical skills stations and testing are given by ATCN® faculty and lectures are given by ATLS® faculty.
