today we had a code at the facility were i work, the patient outcome wasn’t good however but i did learn a lot about being acls savy. intensive care nurses usually respond to codes just as at your facility, well today that didn’t happen, like you i am usually the documentation nurse, but today i had to lead the 1st code, which occured at the very begging of my shift. all i can say is WOW! its very important to be acls savy, i’m glad i paid attention to the more experienced nurses.

Hi. I loved your uplifting/inspiring story. I work on a tele unit. What is the primary nurses role in a code? And how can I get some practice with the defibrillator so I’m not so freaked out when I really have to use it?
Thanks,
rachel

Octogenarian….80-something.

Excellent save! I’m quite impressed. I’ve been in on codes…but never had to do more than act as the one charting. That’s where I’m comfortable…still. I guess it won’t be until I’m faced with something requiring more of me that I’ll know what I’m truly made of.

You’ve proven yourself and I think you should be quite proud!
