Wow, the past two days of the Trauma Nursing Core Course (Provider) was no cake walk. This was my first TNCC. I have taken BLS, ACLS, PALS in the past [and current on all three], but seems to me the TNCC is the toughest. I did do well with a 92 on multiple choice exam, and passed all three skill stations. Maybe part of the challenge is R/T I'm not an ER nurse, rather an ICU nurse. However, the Army Nurse Corps wants both their ER & ICU nurses to complete the TNCC Provider course. The 19.1 CE contact hours was nice, too.
