Knowledge in the field of Advanced Emergency Nursing is a growing competence, increasingly demanded by health institutions of various kinds"

Currently, one of the most complex healthcare environments to work in are the emergency departments of hospitals and all types of healthcare centers. This is because the professionals who work there encounter critical situations of all kinds on a daily basis, which put their response capabilities and knowledge to the test. In the field of nursing, the same situation arises, so TECH professionals have designed this very complete program, which aims to train nursing professionals to be able to work in these environments with a much higher degree of success in their interventions.

Particularly, the training related to emergency treatment by the nurse is of vital importance, because many times the first contact with the patient's health, who is in a generally complex situation, routes the rest of the medical care that is taken. Therefore, nursing professionals must be highly qualified to provide solutions to the wide range of pathologies that are treated in emergency departments, especially those that require in-depth knowledge and special training due to their severity, complexity and/or, in many cases, exigency.

In this sense, the professional master’s degree in Nursing in Emergencies and Advanced Catastrophes, aims to train students to deal with a multitude of emerging problems and high degree of complexity, providing the knowledge and tools necessary to respond to a demand for increasingly advanced care, respecting the highest degree of evidence. 

This very complete training also represents a great differential value when it comes to understanding the structure developed both in early care and in the preparation for the confrontation and use of elements of care practice, which are of special complexity, as well as the scenarios that may arise. 
On the other hand, emergency units are made up of a network of healthcare professionals who offer increasingly complex multidisciplinary care. Therefore, in order to maintain an adequate commitment to safety, quality and efficiency, knowledge must be kept up to date in terms of techniques and treatments that provide autonomy and proactive decision-making capacity.
