ENPC / Emergency Nursing Pediatric Course

Watch this video for a brief overview of how we run ENA's TNCC or ENPC programs.

Caring for sick and injured children calls for a different set of skills, and ENPC is built to develop them. We'll help you feel steady and prepared the next time a pediatric patient comes through your doors.

About ENPC

Accurate assessment of a child with acute illness or injury requires special knowledge and skills. This course, taught by qualified emergency nurses, provides the core-level pediatric knowledge and psychomotor skills needed to properly assess and implement evidence-based interventions to improve outcomes for this high-risk patient population.

Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn:

• The latest pediatric emergency nursing practice recommendations
• Systematic assessment and application of care
• Education that can be applied to every pediatric patient you treat

Who should attend? This program is mainly for RNs. If you're an RN working in the ER, or want to work in the ER, this program is a MUST! Not all ERs have a separate pediatric ED; this course will bring you much knowledge when treating your next pediatric patient.

Learn:

• Rapid identification of pediatric life-threatening injuries & illnesses
• Comprehensive patient assessment
• Enhanced intervention for better patient outcomes

Various learning methodologies are incorporated into ENPC, including online pre-course modules, a textbook, interactive lectures, hands-on practice at home, and case-based learning.

• Hands-on training at home (using both an individual and a team approach): Psychomotor skill stations — pediatric nursing process, airway and ventilation, and interventions — allow you to practice the initial assessment's systematic approach in real-life situations.
• Online learning/pre-course modules: Online modules with links to additional information let you learn at your own pace, apply what you know and receive immediate feedback, and refer back to information anytime. The modules walk you through a complete case study — an entire sequence of care.
• Evidence-based content developed by emergency experts: The comprehensive ENPC Provider Manual, 5th Edition, compiles current pediatric nursing standards and is a valuable resource for future reference.
• Patient experience videos: Learn from pediatric patients and their caregivers about real-life scenarios.
