FAQs
I’m not a registered nurse, may I take the course?
- Only registered nurses may attain a provider certification. LPN/LVNs & paramedics may take the course for 19.5 CNE hours, but are not eligible for provider status verification.
My ENA TNCC certification expired last month. Can I take the 1-day renewal course?
- No. ENA requires an active certification in order to take the renewal course. Current certification is electronically validated upon registration.
I work in an urgent care facility or a stand alone ER. Should I have my TNCC certification?
- Can you anticipate every scenario that walks through the door? This course teaches you invaluable knowledge & considerations to effectively care for mild-severe trauma patients and improve outcomes.
What makes STS different from everyone else offering this course?
- You don’t have to prove yourself to us. We cover the topics thoroughly to ensure comprehension and we tell a lot of stories where this knowledge has helped save lives. Our instructors have used this knowledge on the battlefield, in helicopters/airplanes, in major trauma centers, and in critical access facilities. We also tell a “healthy” amount of dad jokes during our courses.
