Code Blue: What to Expect, How to Contribute as a New RN - @LevelUpRN

Cathy shares her experience with her first few Code Blue situations as a new nurse and even during nursing school.

Per request, here is a video on what to expect and how to contribute in a Code Blue situation. I'll talk about CPR, how to help when you are NOT the primary nurse for the patient, what to do when you ARE the primary nurse, and what to expect in terms of the family's reaction.

Oh my God I loved this video, so real, as an ICU CNA I wish family knew how hard everyone tries to save their family members but is the job, as a student I love the way you teach and I understand you so well so been obsessed with your channel since I found you! Thank you so much!

Second semester in clinicals and on the first day we had a code blue, I was able to jump in and do cpr and we were able to get a pulse. It was such a rush and amazing experience. Very hard to do with an N95 sucked to your face but so worth it!

[elainajlevy]

Thank you so much for this. As a nursing student, code blues give me intense anxiety especially with a ton of people surrounding you and possibly rushing you. This is great information! I will def be watching this video multiple times to learn from it.

This was amazing to watch before experiencing my first few codes in psych! Even when I didn't know what to do, or there wasn't anything for me to jump into, taking time-stamped notes was SO helpful for documentation. The other nurses were always so grateful. Codes often feel longer than they are, so nobody really knows what happened when.

[jordanschmidt]

You never know how it feels till you do one!

[platinumgreyx]

A strong point is to respect all of your team members during a code. You will be working with people who are stronger or weaker in certain areas than you... which does NOT give you the right to disrespect, belittle, antagonize, or snap at others. I’ve seen Bullies do this several times. If you want to be a little B*tch, get out of the room. Your toxicity is only creating a negative environment than can potentially increase the chances of the patient NOT surviving.

Thank you for posting! I am glad to have you for a reference as Im studying for NCLEX. Also, I appreciate the real world advice because Ill be starting a med/surg telemetry unit soon as a new grad and this and your new grad video helped answer some of my questions of what to expect! :)

[ngrizzard]

Thank you for posting this! We’re all going to have our first time for everything in this field especially hospital RNs

[sw]

Thank you for this. I'm still in school, and I've never experienced a code blue in my life. But at least now I know I'll be helpful if write down all the details of the situation. Gotta brush up on cpr too, since it's not something I use everyday.

[Sassy]

We have stools in all rooms for cpr so we can get up high enough and administer proper compressions at my new hospital and it’s a game changer and we can do it longer without tiring out

[richardx]

Thank you Cathy! Keep up with the good work!

[LaSorciereFeuillue]

This was great thankyou. I have a 2nd year Placement in Medical coming up so now I know what to run past my Clinical Partner.
I've worked in Childcare for thirty years so ungracious families are nothing new to me.

[mercedesochoa]

What scares me is being the first one to see the patient coding. Like, do I feel for a pulse and then yell for help/start compressions? If so, I'm scared I'll feel for a pulse, and with all of that adrenaline running, I won't feel a pulse and accidentally begin compressions on someone w a pulse

[ClinicNurse]

In what situations do you begin compression on a patient? In what situations do you need to use an ambu bag?

[irislopez]

Thank you for this video it was very helpful

[shelikestuff]

“Some people are Super into it “ I giggled lol

[Anonymous-mfpd]

What supplies are u supposed to get? Isnt it all in crash cart?

[pepitonanaloto]

Would you please do an episode about ngt complications esp. to stuporous pt.tnx.

[sukhchainsingh-qzhj]

That was good video on Code blue and different roles. Different things that can happen.

[NurseMia]
