Online Written Exam

To complete the course, you must:

Obtain and read the TNCC textbook [8th Edition] (available for purchase during registration). You will need this textbook to study for the course; however, you do not need to have the book to begin the ENA's TNCC pre-course modules. Complete the online pre-course modules (issued after registration) on ENA's website. These must be completed BEFORE attending the live session of the course. You do not need the textbook to start ENA's pre-course modules; we recommend beginning them as soon as your access is granted.

Complete the online lectures and activities via HCTAUSA.org (different from the ENA's modules above) during the course. Complete and participate in both days of the live session of the course Pass the Trauma Nursing Process Skills session with a 70% or greater (during your live session) Pass the online written exam (80% or greater) within 7 days of the course (50 questions, open-book, 2-hour time limit, 2 attempts, random questions).

The TNCC 8th Edition textbook does take approx. 14-21 days for delivery (USA ONLY); if you elect to pick it up from our office, please check that we have the textbook in stock as they sell out very quickly. ENA does offer an eBook for the TNCC program; if your textbook's delivery is not guaranteed, you may want to consider an eBook instead of a print book. ENA recommends registering 30+ days before the course to prepare for the heavy TNCC content. However, if you're registering within 30 days of the course, you can only proceed by understanding that you run the risk of "failing" the course without sufficient time to prepare. The TNCC written exam is an open-book exam; moreover, many do not succeed with the written exam and course completion if you don't have the current (8th Edition) boon. If you agree to these terms, an eBook maybe your best option, as an eBook access link is usually emailed within 3-5 business days from when you place your eBook order

The current edition of program provider course materials is required.
