Advanced Trauma Care for Nurses (ATCN)

For more information contact: Branda Bird (801) 587-9195

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 convene in trauma nursing
skills stations.

The course includes presentations on
initial assessment, airway management,
abdominal trauma, thoracic trauma, shock,
head and spinal cord trauma, burns,
extremity trauma, pediatric trauma, elderly
trauma, trauma during pregnancy, and
stabilization and transport. Coupled with
the lectures are corresponding practical
skills stations and moulage assessment.
