The Advanced Trauma Care for Nurses (ATCN) course is taught concurrently with approved Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) courses.

Benefits of the ATCN course include an educational, team building, collaborative and synchronized approach to trauma care as trauma nurses share didactic lectures with the physician attendees of the ATLS course.  Doctors and nurses caring for trauma patients have the opportunity to share a common language and approach to trauma care.  When the ATLS attendees break out for physician skill stations, the ATCN nurses join small group trauma nursing skill stations.

These ATCN skill stations are based on an interactive “hands-on” scenario-based approach to adult education.  ATCN students are given both the ATLS student manual and the ATCN student manual.  The ATCN course was developed in response to a need for advanced trauma education for nurses.  The ATCN course has been operational for over twenty years and is under the auspices of the Society of Trauma Nurses (STN).  STN is a professional, international nursing organization that spans the continuum of trauma care.

Upon successful completion of this program, the nurse will be able to:
1) Demonstrate concepts and principals of primary and secondary patient assessment.
2) Establish management priorities in a trauma situation.
3) Demonstrate the management priorities of the multiply traumatized patients.

STOP-THE-BLEED®

Next course dates: to be determined

STOP-THE-BLEED® Courses are designed to increase the survivability of life-threatening bleeding. Victims can quickly die from uncontrolled bleeding, typically within 5-10 minutes.

The concept of this course can be summed up in 3 points:

  • Lifesaving training: similar to how the general public understands and performs CPR
  • The public must learn proper bleeding control techniques, including how to use their hands, dressings, and tourniquets
  • By providing civilian bystanders the skills and basic tools to stop uncontrolled bleeding in an emergency situation, lives would be saved!

This complimentary course offered by the Ottawa Regional Trauma Program takes about 90 minutes to deliver and includes hands-on skills development.

The training occurs The Ottawa Hospital-Civic Campus.

The purpose of Trauma Nurse Core Course (TNCC) is to present core-level knowledge, refine skills and build a firm foundation in trauma nursing. The TNCC is a 16-hour course designed to provide the learner with cognitive knowledge and psychomotor skills to better assess and treat the pediatric or adult trauma patient. This course includes lecture and hands-on skill stations covering assessment and treatment of the severely injured patient. This certification is valid for four years and successful completion of the TNCC course includes passing a multiple-choice examination and demonstrating critical steps of the skill stations. Recommended for emergency room and intensive care unit floor nurses. Nurses in other clinical areas would benefit and should be encouraged to attend a TNCC course.
