    AbstractThe role of a trauma nurse practitioner (TNP) is not a new one. Trauma facilities around the nation are continually finding ways to incorporate and expand upon the role of the TNP within their infrastructure to better utilize resources while simultaneously providing comprehensive care. While this is the case, there is a dearth of information on the core competencies required for a TNP to practice efficiently. Having concise information on the core competencies for a TNP will be of great benefit to graduate nurse practitioners as well as seasoned nurse practitioners looking to change specialties.
