Emergency Nursing Pediatric Course (ENPC)

While only five percent of pediatric emergency department (ED) visits represent true life-threatening medical or surgical emergencies, acute illness still remains a dominant source of unnecessary pediatric deaths. In many instances, these preventable pediatric deaths are the result of delayed recognition and treatment by emergency department personnel. Proper intervention by educated emergency care professionals may have prevented such deaths and disabilities. In spite of national pediatric trauma statistics, there are a limited number of medical centers throughout the country that have specialized pediatric centers. Nurses working in today's ED's must strengthen their pediatric emergency nursing skills in order to meet the needs of this diverse population and provide quality nursing care.

This two-day course through its lectures & interactive skill stations has become a standard certification for many emergency/critical care nurses across the world.

Course Length: 16-hours, (2) 8-hour days
Intended audience: E.R., Pediatric, and I.C.U. Nurses

Trauma Nurse Core Course
TNCC
2-day Seminar

The magnitude of trauma as a national and international problem is documented by data that identifies injury as being the primary cause of death in persons under age 45. The optimal care of the trauma patient is best accomplished within a framework in which all members of the trauma team use a systematic, standardized approach to the care of the injured patient. Emergency nurses are essential members of the trauma team. Morbidity and mortality of trauma patients can be significantly reduced by educating nurses to provide competent trauma care.

This course covers pediatric & adult trauma across the lifespan, and through its lectures & interactive skill stations has become a standard certification for many emergency/critical care nurses around the world.
