Trauma Nursing Core Course
Preparation Packet
This course is sanctioned and overseen by the ENA. Reviewing the textbook and completing the online
modules are mandatory prior to entering the class. If you do not have the 8th edition textbook and certificate of
completion for the modules, you will not be allowed to attend the class. An active RN license is required for
certification. Those without an active RN license will not be allowed to test but will receive a certificate of
attendance upon completion of the online modules and class.
Unfortunately, once registration with EMC is complete, we are unable to issue refunds.
The ENA recommends a 30-day registration cut off time to give participants enough time to prepare. The
online modules take approximately 3 – 6 hours to complete.
The following pages will walk you through the procedure for completing the modules and testing.
• Students will NOT be allowed to attend the class if the pre-course modules are incomplete.
• Technical assistance is ONLY available Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 5pm Central Time.
• The flipped classroom teaching methodology used REQUIRES that students read the provider manual
PRIOR to class. This will greatly enhance your learning experience and chance for success on the
examination.
• The online examination MUST be completed within 7 days of the course – please make sure your
schedule will allow this. You will have 2 attempts to achieve an 80% on the exam. BOTH attempts must
be made within 7 days. If the course ends on a Tuesday, you have until the following Tuesday at 2359
to complete the exam.

Pre-Course Module Status:
As each of the pre-course modules are completed, the bar representing that module will turn green.
When all of the pre-course modules have been completed, the full line will be green and the student
is eligible for the live in-person or virtual course led by the Course Director.
Click on the pre-course module image and all of the pre-course modules will appear. When all are

Skills Station Scores:
As skills station scores are entered by the Course Director, the first bar will turn green indicating that
the student has passed the skill testing with a score of 70% or higher. Once the bar is green, the
student has access to the required course evaluation. This evaluation must be completed before the
exam can be accessed.
Evaluation:
After the live in-person or virtual course, the student must complete a course evaluation. When the
required evaluation has been completed, the second half of the bar will also turn green indicating that
the exam can now be accessed. The names of the course instructors will automatically populate for
the students to evaluate. After completing the evaluation, the learner will have access to their CE
certificate.

Exam:
The student has two attempts to pass the exam. The two halves of the exam bar represent each
attempt. The exam bar is color coded. Red indicates that the exam was failed. Green indicates that
the exam was passed with a score of 80% or higher.
If the student fails their first attempt, they will be able to view their Remediation Report. They will
then have access to the 2nd attempt or ‘make-up exam’. This 2nd attempt needs to be completed
within the seven-day exam window. If the student fails their 2nd attempt, they will need to enroll in a
new provider course if they require the verification.

this time, they will also have access to their provider card.
Students can access their CE Certification and Provider Card at any time. Click ‘Transcript’ on the left
side toolbar and all past certificates and provider cards will be available for download.
