Hi everyone. I debated making this video for a long time because it is a touchy subject and I want to be as respectful to the patient as possible. No patient identifiers were used in this video and it is HIPAA compliant. I hope you understand my need to keep my story relatively vague, but I wanted to share my personal experience of responding to my first code blue as a new nurse.

My daughter coded in the PICU when she was 6 months old. All the nurses and staff that rushed in were AMAZING! It was so crazy to see the organized chaos and how everyone immediately knew their place and what to do! Her little chest was so bruised from CPR, it was so hard to see but I'm so thankful for all the staff that saved her life!! Thank you for sharing your experience, it is so interesting to hear it from the professionals standpoint!!

My first code was on my brother in law. I’ve lived with him for 7 years since I got married at 17. We literally grew up together. He was shot in the chest at a restaurant and me and my husband were the first ones on the scene. I tried to hold pressure on the wounds, but he was shot in the lung. The ambulance took 20 mins (the hospital was across the street). Eventually he turned blue, and I started CPR. He passed away in my arms, he was only 19. 💔 It was the most traumatic experience of my entire life, and I have severe PTSD. That was in May, and last month there was my first code at my hospital and I couldn’t do it, it gave me flashbacks 😞. This is my biggest obstacle in nursing right now.

First code blue as a new nurse in Ltc. As the RN of the building I had to take the initiative to start CPR because no one was starting it. Your instinct as a nurse just kicks in, no time to think about anything else. 2nd code blue, I had to page it over. Don't wait on anyone to tell you u need to call code blue, you don't need anyone, u are a RN, you do it for ur resident/patient. Take charge of the situation, u were trained for this

I remember going to my first code when I was a phlebotomist. I had to practically run into the room with 20 people in it and get a blood sample back to the lab as quickly as possible. I remember the nurses taking turns doing compressions, and a crash cart being wheeled into the room. From what I heard, the patient survived. Since then I've seen about 3 codes (2 of those ending in unfortunate death), but it never gets easier.

I remember I was once on a ward and the code blue alarm rang, and it was truly terrifying and I wasn't even the people who called it. The sound, the people running around, all the awareness and alert in people's eyes, all the machines and carts rolling around. Gosh, so SCARY!

Its always so nerve wracking when its your own patient that codes for the first time. Lots of adrenaline and trying to take it all in while still trying to think what to do and be able to answer questions that the physicians have. They get "better" as time goes on and you've experienced them more often. It's never easy though when they don't make it. Its hard knowing that you did everything you could and just wasn't enough. Having worked in the ICU for many years, many of us have learned to live for these moments, as crazy as that sounds, as being in that moment, operating at the top of you game, giving your all to save this persons life, is a feeling like no other. Not that we wish this to happen to anyone, but when it does, we WANT to be there. Sounds like you had a lot of great support before, during, and after this which certainly helps! Thanks for sharing!

I am a NICU RN and my first code was a few years ago. I still remember it like yesterday. Unfortunately my sweet little patient didn't make it and I had some serious PTSD for a year after that. I had nightmares repeatedly. I should have gone to the EAP for some counseling but didn't. It was a really bad code and I cried quite a bit when I got home after that shift. I appreciate your video. I think it is an important topic. It's a good way to support each other through difficult times as a Nurse.

On my last day of orientation we had a patient code, I walked in and the cardiac surgeon was doing compressions and running the code. It was insane and I couldn’t stop imagining it in my head for weeks. The patient didn’t make it and it was pretty traumatic, I totally understand what you were saying

Nursing PTSD is real for sure. I’ve had multiple patients pass away but the worst for sure was when my stepmom was made comfort measures only and I walked into my assignment, which consisted of an already deceased person, and one who was actively dying. I was doing post Mortem care and felt like I was going to faint, I started crying and then at that second I got the call that my stepmom passed away. I have viewed death completely different now and it’s really freaky. I used to not get anxious but now I do at times, especially when my patient is crashing. I’m still trying to move past it. Thanks for sharing your story!

my 1st semester of nursing school, I walked into a patient’s room for the 1st time (mind you, not one of my patients but I was helping out another nurse bc she was so busy) and you could tell the patient was deteriorating, but she responded to me when I talked to her. left the room for maybe 20 secs to get something and came back to find her unresponsive. I freaked and checked pulses which of course were absent and literally yelled out the room for a nurse. one rushed in, checked the patient and called the code. sadly, she didn’t make it either. literally never felt so scared in my life.

This past weekend I had my first code too. I work as a PCT on a Tele floor. A patient had disconnected their tele box and went to the restroom. We went to go check on the patient and found them unresponsive. We ran the code and revived the patient but the family requested that the patient become DNR. The patient passed an hour after. I agree about CPR. It's very hard to think about doing and it really is extremely physical.

@SusanScrapPassion 4 жыл бұрын

In reference to the patient that was a “jerk”, I have found that maybe they are not really jerks, but patients who are anxious and upset about a code on the unit they are in. Watching staff run to a code with a crash cart can cause extreme anxiety amongst the other patients and family members present. It makes mortality very real, and if a patient is sick, they become very aware that it could possibly be them someday. As nurses we are there to help treat and prolong life. But, sometimes the medical profession forgets that quality of life is more important than quantity. We can’t save everyone, but that does not mean we cannot empathize with those in that situation. I have spent many drives home in tears after a shift involving a code. But, life is for the living, and that is our purpose as nurses. We have to move on to those that we can help and care for so they can return to a happy, healthy life if possible.

I am not a nurse but 2 years ago in August my dad was sick one morning which he thought was heartburn but a few hours laterbI found him unresponsive and had to call 911 and the person on the phone instructed me on how to do CPR until the paramedics. As soon as we got to the hospital we found out he had passed away. It was the scariest days of my life and feel like I have developed some PTSD from it but can't say 100% as I haven't talked to a therapist about what happened.

I’m two months away from starting nursing school. I did the 6 month pre-course we have here and the first aid course. We had the option of becoming a first aid responder for emergencies to do cpr on casualties until the ambulance arrives. I got my first call out a week ago. It was the street behind mine and I got there in about 1 minute and realised it was my friends grandad. The adrenaline going through my body was incredible. It was like I was on drugs. I arrived and he was still conscious which was good but my god was he in an incredible amount of pain. It was a heart attack. His wife was going in to shock too and it was quite challenging managing both situations but man... I definitely am choosing the right profession for myself.. it’s these situations that show you what you’re made of and what you can do under high pressure situations. I didn’t gave to perform cpr but in that moment I knew what I was made of and I could do it. Unfortunately he passed away at the hospital, he told them not to resuscitate. I’m sorry to hear that it affected you like that, it’s not easy to see someone die. I felt like you did after I found a girl who had just committed suicide. It’s so hard reliving it.

I was with my mom and my aunt when they passed away. It was very hard to deal with. Once I had a situation at work where a coworker hurt themselves and I had to get them help. As we were waiting for someone I was trying to keep them calm and keep them from passing out from pain. As for turning off your brain and trying to distract it from overthinking things, that is really hard. I have found that I have days where I have to watch ASMR videos to relax and fall asleep. Sorry you had a hard time with the situation.

I was just involved in my first code blue last week. I am a brand new nursing student and this was my first semester of clinicals at the hospital. Fortunately, it was not my patient. But one of the nurses called me and my fellow student to come do compressions because we never had before. It was terrifying but not as bad as I thought. It was extremely interesting to observe the "organized chaos" and a very kind NP who was on the RRT talked us through a lot of the stuff they were doing so we learned a lot more. I am so glad to have that experience behind me. The good thing is the patient was stabilized!

It’s good that after people ask how you are, I can only imagine. You kind of imagine how you think it would be, but it’s not until you go through something that you really get the feel. This is not at all the same, but at work I recently had a suicidal man call in. He said he had a gun in his hand, and I kept hearing him bang it against the table and he said he was going to pull the trigger. He said he didn’t have anyone, and he wanted someone to get his dog once he passed as he didn’t want him to be alone. He said if I called the police he would pull the trigger (I had my supervisor call the authorities). I didn’t have any crisis training before. I’ve dealt with many hard calls that had to do with car accidents and death and I was used to that. But trying to keep someone alive wasn’t anything I was prepared for or trained on. It was also within a week of the anniversary of my cousin taking her life. I worked the rest of the day almost as nothing happened. Although frustrated with the calls that came in over extremely petty things. It wasn’t until later in the day right before bed it really hit me. Kept wondering if there was something more I could have done. I’ve had to identify bodies, watched someone take there last breaths(death from lung cancer). But trying to save someone was a bit different and stuck with me a bit.Which I can imagine is probably harder when you’re physically doing it in a hospital. I’ve decided to make a career change into nursing. I’m sure that’s definitely the hard part of the job

What I wish I would have known is that the same professor might teach multiple classes or a class and a clinical. So its vital to have or make a good relationship with your professors. It doesn't mean you have to love everyone but finding one or two that can help you through the struggles of nursing school and celebrate with you when you accomplish something. I think this is something I'm currently learning with my professors.

Did CPR on a friend who fell right in front of us while camping. I used to teach CPR for Red Cross. Only other one present who knew CPR was our 76 yr old friend who had prior heart surgeries of his own. We cycled back and forth while waiting for ambulance, but I tried to do the majority as I was worried we’d have 2 needing CPR. I had recently had thumb fusion and was one year post right TKR. Our friend didn’t make it (event determined to be “widow maker”). As a hospital volunteer we see, and even call, codes and luckily they don’t bother me. Most are not code blue, but I have called one of those and been right there with the patient.

3 1/2 years ago I watched my dad die right in front of me and I remember him being really grey. I didn’t sleep well for months. I would have nightmares about him dying or coming back to life and things like that. I would wake up in the middle of the night and have a panic attack and think I was dying. I was 15 at the time and didn’t know cpr and I just sat and watched him die..this is something I still struggle with. I am cpr certified now and if I would have done it then it maybe could have saved him.. so ya people dying is so hard especially in traumatic situations

I'm so sorry for what you went through. I hope you sought counseling, those feelings can stick with you for years and years.

I've been in the Marines for 14 yrs and had multiple deployments and lost friends first hands and buried 3 personally. Would it feel different for me after losing a patient? I start nursing school in jan.
