Same for my hospital. If it were a code blue it'll also be broadcast thru the entire fucking hospital to summon the team. Which would be fun for OP.

Huh. Every hospital I’ve been to uses these: https://www.reddit.com/r/nursing/comments/5o7hrs/i_posted_about_my_pt_pushing_the_code_blue_button/

You are not alone. As a nursing student on a hospital rotation, I did exactly the same thing, for the same reason.

I think my face was as red as the button.

meh. one thing I never aspired to, marrying a doc. I was 20 years old and in nursing school, not necessarily pretty in the face but I had a rocking body. even though my name tag clearly said Mrs nursing student, I got hit on a bit. nah, dude, I spend all day with doctors. I got a great husband and I ain't switching him out.

I'd love to see the federal regs he's referring to.

Same. Never saw a blue code button.

>She doesn't look up as she's helping the patient. "YES JUST PUSH IT."..."Not THAT red button!"

Who designed this shit lol

communication is key! I would think both of you learned of this!

Jeeze and I thought it was bad people at work have twice confused fire code with hazmat code. It's all just announced so like... when you hear maintenance being called to a fire, you know you can just ignore it.

Interesting... yeah if the fire doors at my work were connected to the fire alarm systems it would never end lol. It just sets off the door alarm.

An alarm for your alarm, smart I like it. Would have saved probably all the false calls from children at my place of work as well.

THE ISLAND! Ugh…

Or better yet, unbuckle and exit the ride.

When someone tells you to push the RED button, you push the RED button. And you hit the biggest, most visible red button you can find.

The RN should have told you to push the 'nurse call' button.

So, no you didn't FU that day.

Good lord. As an engineer you should know just how many things are different and still compliant with government standards.

Some things sure are the same, but many times government regulations are like “have a thing that does XYZ” and leave it up to you entirely how to implement that.

One need only look at the different EHRs.

I never watched enough of that to confirm 😂 but if the romance and drama come first and character realism and developement last.. probably.

Better hang on then cause you ain't seen nothin yet.

Could have been much worse! I remember about 10 years ago when I was working as a volunteer in the ER of my local hospital, one of my colleague (a volunteer as well) had a patient that was getting a little agitated and seemed a bit threatening. So he called the main desk to ask for a code blue (=please send security backup), but got his colors confused and called a code purple (=armed threat with possible hostage situation). I can let you imagine the chaos that ensued.

Not gonna read that, but I assume it's "yes."

>!Meredith's oldest was just diagnosed as a prodigy but after making some college visits, has decided to go into engineering instead of medicine. However, her special interest is robotics which will probably lead her into bionics. The rest of Mredith's brood isn't in high school yet, so who knows? !<

Is her kid a doctor at the hospital by the end of the series?

Could have been worse, the urge could have doubled-down and won

That's quitter talk! Don't let Doctor Bailey hear you say that.

Suddenly I'm just imagining 'Arrow'. Is it just Arrow in a hospital?

The shit has really only just begun by season 3. Buckle up
