Registered nurses are core members of critical care ground transport teams because of their education, experience, and scope of practice. Advances in medicine, technology, and equipment, combined with regionalization of specialized care and, most recently, the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, necessitate that transport nurses possess specialized knowledge, skills, and abilities. National specialty certification in ground transport nursing via the Certified Transport Registered Nurse (CTRN) offers registered nurses a process to validate their expertise. The most recent transport nursing role delineation study, which was conducted by the Board of Certification for Emergency Nursingin 2019, provided the foundation for the revised CTRN examination content outline, which is now separate from the Certified Flight Registered Nurse (CFRN) content outline. In this article, we provide a brief history of the specialty of ground transport nursing; details on the CTRN examination blueprint; and a composite patient case report to illustrate the ground-specific role, expertise, and contributions of the CTRN in delivering the highest level of patient care during ground transport.
注册护士是重症监护地面转运团队的核心成员，这是由于他们所接受的教育、拥有的经验和实践范围决定的。医学、技术和设备的进步，加上专门护理的区域化，以及最近的 2019 年冠状病毒病大流行，都要求转运护士具备专门的知识、技能和能力。通过认证转运注册护士（CTRN）进行的地面转运护理国家专业认证为注册护士提供了验证其专业知识的过程。最近的一次转运护理角色描述研究是由紧急护理认证委员会于 2019 年进行的，该研究为修订后的 CTRN 考试内容大纲提供了基础，该大纲现在与认证飞行注册护士（CFRN）内容大纲分开。在本文中，我们简要介绍了地面转运护理的专业历史；详细介绍了 CTRN 考试蓝图；并提供了一个综合患者病例报告，以说明 CTRN 在地面转运过程中提供最高水平的患者护理方面的具体角色、专业知识和贡献。
