Would you be willing to share your outline on the courses you teach.
This sounds very interesting.

We are also a level II. We have a med/surg nurse that has had special
training do the documentation for the trauma team resuscitation so that
the ED nurses can be doing the hands on care of the patient. The
med/surg nurse has taken TNCC, a specialized 8 hour institution specific
trauma course and a special "recording" course that was specifically
designed for our facility and flowsheets. This has worked very well for
us.

Subject: [traumanurses] Trauma team makeup
A question for the group. We are a Level II community based center.
We
have our trauma team in the ED as the ED nurse primary/record keeper,
secondary ED Nurse and ICU Nurse at the bedside with the assundry
other
staff that also respond to the level I's. I have been getting a lot
of
flack from some of the ED staff as to the primary Nurse not being able
to
"get dirty" so to say in the initial part of the resuscitation. The
question is do any of you have alternate team make ups that differ
from
this and if so, what is it. The concept I have for the
primary/documentation is that it is the ED nurse and they have
control
over the room to make sure things are done, the assessments are
completed
and I thought that it would be best to have the ED Nurse do this since
they
have the most experience with the process and such. I am not married
to
this concept, but I think it makes the most sense. Also, if there are
other ways I would be open to it. I have stated that I do not want
the
same nurse being primary all the time. This is harder on nights with
the
more limited staffing.
Thank You
