Course Description
Transport nursing
involves the transfer of emergency and non-emergency patients. This can range from a routine
interfacility transport to critical calls for trauma and medical emergencies. A thorough
physical assessment, anticipation of the potential complications, and being prepared are
the most important factors for transport nursing. This module includes an overview of the
principles of transport including the preparation and special assessment considerations for
the safe transfer of the ground transfer patient.
This learning activity serves as a comprehensive guide to prepare for ground transport and
the safe transfer of the patient. This learning activity serves as a great orientation tool
for nurses wishing to pursue a career in ground transport.

Program (NRP) may be required if the transport involves children or neonates.
Content Design

curriculum strategy is the ability to offer clinical knowledge that is supported by evidence

skills. The learning activities offer interactive illustrations, images and animations in an
