Injured patients present a wide range of complex problems. Advanced Trauma Care for Nurses (ATCN©) is an advanced course designed for the registered nurse interested in increasing their knowledge in management of the multiple trauma patient.
ATCN © was developed to teach established standards of care and practical, life-saving skills. This advanced trauma course is designed for nurses working in emergency departments, ICUs, medical-surgical floors or operating rooms who wish to increase their knowledge and practical skills in the management of multiple trauma patients.
The ATCN© program has been operational for over 15 years and has an excellent record of offering a superb trauma educational program, and maintaining a positive collaboration with the ACS Committee on Trauma State Chapters.
ATCN® skill stations include:
• Initial Assessment and Management
• Airway and Ventilatory Management
• Pediatric Trauma
• Hemorrhagic Shock
• Musculoskeletal & Spinal Trauma
• Head Trauma
The skill stations are based on an interactive "hands-on scenario-based approach" to adult education. The practical testing stations allow the ATCN® students to demonstrate the application of ATCN® information on a moulaged patient. Participants will receive an ATCN® manual. For a renewal course, your certification must be current. Please note, this course is designed for nurses. Practical skills stations and testing along with lectures are conducted by ATCN® faculty.
The Society of Trauma Nurses is accredited as a provider of continuing nursing education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation. The ATCN® Blended Learning Student Course has been awarded 19 contact hours for students who attend the entire course. Partial credits are not available.
