CATN stands for: Course in Advanced Trauma Nursing. ENA (Emergency Nurses Association) offers TNCC, ENPC (Emergency Nursing Pediatric Course), CATN, and GENE (Geriatric Emergency Nursing Education).

Hi Everyone, I received an email from ENA that CATN is back. It's been a while since it was last offered. Has anyone taken the new CATN yet?

Have you signed up for the course? Have you started studying? I've heard the same thing, and am wanting to prepare for it as best as I can.

When you register for TNCC, the book may or may not be part of the registration cost. You'd have to ask the course administrator about purchasing one from them. You may be able to call ENA's course or publications office.

I'm looking for one as well. I purchased the TNCC book already, and am using that to study.

Thanks for the heads up. I did not know that there's a 50% failure rate for the course. I'm definitely going to study. I studied before taking PALS and ACLS. I just didn't know that 2-3 months of study was required for ENPC just to pass. Thanks again.

50% fail rate nationwide? Wow! Is 1 month enough study time then? 23 chapters and about 400 pages? Have you started studying already?

How many months in-advance should students be studying before taking the actual course? Can students buy the book before registering for the course?
