About this Event
Advanced Trauma Care for Nurses (ATCN) is an advanced course designed for the registered nurse interested in increasing his/her knowledge in management of the multiple trauma patient. The ATCN course is traditionally taught concurrently with the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Advanced Trauma Life Support® (ATLS). For this inaugural hybrid course, nurses will complete the online ATLS course modules prior to the ATCN Hybrid Course.
The ATCN program, which has been offered for over 25 years, is widely recognized as a quality trauma educational offering. The course originated in the early 1980s as a hospital-based trauma program at the Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, Maryland. By 1997, the Society of Trauma Nurses (STN) assumed responsibility for the ATCN program and continues to offer it as one of its flagship educational offerings. In 2000, the American College of Surgeons ATLS Committee officially recognized and approved the ATCN course for widespread implementation in conjunction with ATLS courses. The ATCN program is currently being offered in numerous states as well as internationally.
