I loved the first season and enjoyed the next few as they came out... But it never ended and it just kept getting more convoluted, so I decided that was enough of that.

Lol, worse things happen.

While having sex with literally everyone else. I'm 3 seasons in to Grey's Anatomy and if this shit continues Idk if I can take it for 17 more years worth of the show.

She worked med-surg for about three months before getting hired with us, not sure if she had any other patient care experience. I hate to say it but she just wasn't really cut out for nursing, she couldn't control her anxiety and had a bit of an attitude problem. She stayed with us for less than a year and left to go back to school.

And he and that nurse would get married.

I work on the code team for my hospital.

A rapid response is called when a patient isn’t doing well. It can be called for just about anything. Trouble breathing, chest pain, abnormal vital signs, neurological changes, etc. In my hospital, a team of critical care nurses arrives along with respiratory therapists and a doctor.

A code is called when the patient either stops breathing or goes into cardiac arrest, so it’s more serious than a rapid response. Sometimes we call a code when they are still breathing but are doing poorly enough that we need the ICU team to come intubate them (place a breathing tube). When a full blown code is called, the rapid response team and the ICU doctors show up, as well as a pharmacist with a cart full of critical medications.

Ah yes, the same in France in my hospital emergency. I used it thinking it would open a door once. But I've seen it used multiple times for agressive patients and once for a heart failure.

Lol it was hypotension, and she had told him to drink something, hence the iced coffee.

Same, one ol red button

Hey you just can't drop the story without telling us commoner plebs why the nurse wanted to call rapid response!

The hospital I worked for has Code blue buttons that are BLUE for that reason. BUT they also have rapid response if you pull the call bell out of the wall (made to do that) as it means you or the patient needs help NOW.

Don’t let r/residency hear you say nice things about an NP……

Maybe she practiced at a blood donation clinic? People stay less long there and taking a 'nap' is no option there.

The other end of the world.

Australia.

And yes, we do indeed have both a state and federal govt.

And where are you?

Where are you?

Definitely not your fuck up.

Apparently so. One’s mind could pop if one considers other places might have alternative uses for the same item.

Or

Might

Even

Laws

At our hospital, a rapid response meant the floor/charge nurse and a respiratory therapist would arrive to assess the situation and determine next steps while a full code brought the calvary.

You’d call a rapid response if something seemed ‘off,’ aka increased/labored breathing, syncope, onset of acute confusion, possible stroke, etc.

You would call a code if it the person died or seemed very close to it.

When in doubt, generally a rapid response gets called first and then they decide if a code needs to be called.

My first shift on another ward as a brand new nurse of one month was a night shift. I was doing my sheet waiting for handover when a nurse strolls out of the bay and says oh hey, can you call a rapid response, and then grab the trolley please? I froze for a second, then remembered exactly what to do. I punched the buttons on the phone and said "R...Code Blue!!" and even got the bed number correct. Phew!

I ran to get the trolley, dropped the cone in the corridor and when I came back about 20 people were all there just looking at a patient who was sipping iced coffee and looking quite chuffed by all the attention. All eyes turn to me.

"Oh...oops"

Dies and hopes to fall through the floor

I guess you could say it's like urgent care vs. ER?

Reddit was made by Americans for Americans.

Where I worked we had certain fire alarm pull stations that would get pulled by kids or idiots. So we put covers on them. when they pulled the cover off it would sound a loud alarm put the cover back on the alarm would stop. Saved a lot of false alarms to the fire dept.

Read the fuckin post dipshit

Which federal govt??

I’ve been a nurse for over 30 years, my federal govt doesn’t dictate that the red button only calls the nurse’s station, never has.
