I got my TNCC cert. I completed and passed the course. I passed the live practical exam and written exam.
This is the wrong edition. It is on edition 9 now. It is 500 pages. It was a needed read and interesting as always!

Personally I actually liked this textbook. And I DID
read the textbook for the TNCC.
It went through your primary and secondary surveys very efficiently and cut straight to the chase instead of some of the nursing school texts with 300 pages and none of it being relevant to your own practice😅
Yes, a lot of it is reinforcement and things you already know how to do and what to look for. Such as how to confirm an ETT placement etc. It is stuff we know!!! But it was still a good read in my opinion.
It’s all about the basics in trauma.
I do wish I got the chance to do the course before working in Emergency but it almost more fun to learn having seen a lot of those scenarios in real life and being able to say:
“Yea we had a kid walk into Emergency last week, and while he is texting on his phone (aka on social media) his radial artery was literally spurting all over the walls”
Kid, reality check, your instagram is not important right now😂

Required reading, so what can I say? Other than: I have taken this course before and read the previous edition cover-to-cover and IMO, this edition (8th edition) the material was presented in an unbelievably dry way. It teaches you what you need to know for passing the class, but this edition was extremely hard to get through! Oh well, it got the job done! I'm TNCC certified for the next four years! Hopefully they will improve upon this edition the next time I take the class. ::Fingers Crossed:: :)

No longer using this website, but I'm leaving up old reviews. Fuck Jeff Bezos. Find me on LibraryThing: https://www.librarything.com/profile/...
This book is great, this course is the best. I learned about 30% of my current nursing practice from the two years I spent in nursing school. Probably a full 10% of my nursing practice comes from this book and it's associated two-day course. The course and the book cut to the heart of the most important work I do as an Emergency Nurse. The system of ABC assessment, intervention, reassessment is a template that helps guide me through the most stressful and complicated patients, regardless of whether or not they were involved in a traumatic injury. I can recall walking into a room with a messy and dying patient, and it was adherence to the protocol outlined in this course that helped me to take control of the situation and likely helped save that patient's life. I can't recommend this course any higher to registered nurses in general, but emergency nurses specifically.

The ENA took a great reference manual and 2-day course, and turned both into useless crap! sorry for my wording, but i have taken this course 4 times, and come home from my 5th class today. i feel if the class if teaching you to save lives in a crises, it should teach you in a serious adult manner. the slides were poor. the manual is half the size of the prior editions, with no glossary, and a poor pre-test. the writing is very dry--this comment from many of the fellow students. i feel you should be put through your paces since this class is only every 4 years. the book is not worth $20, no less the $45 they charge. every 4 years, it is a new book!
this is the first edition that i felt was a waste of time and money. i know they want to de-stress the learning experience and make it more calm, but the er is not like that. i guess i am too old school, because lives are on the line.

Too much information packed into two days. Do you expect 100% retention from every health care professional participant, TNCC and CHS?

Not really exciting, and definitely NOT a "must read", but necessary for my next certification. LOL!

I'm taking TNCC the first weekend in November. When I have free time, which is not often, I'm trying to read through it.
