Why choose trauma nursing?
Trauma nursing is a dynamic and specialized area of practice focused on rapid assessment, critical decision-making, and coordinated care for patients experiencing acute injury and complex health events. As a trauma nurse, you play a vital role across the continuum of care — from pre-hospital and emergency response to acute care, rehabilitation, and recovery — supporting patients and families during some of their most vulnerable moments. Nurses who obtain CNA certification in trauma nursing earn the right to use the credential Trauma Nursing (Canada) Certification, abbreviated CTN(C), for five years, after which they must renew through the certification continuous learning pathway.
