So I get a patient from the OR today. In my report he sounds stable, not even intubated or anything. I receive him screaming. The anesthesiologist tells me to give him 2 of Versed. I get ready to push it and another nurse says "he's looking a little dusky." And then he stops breathing and doesn't have a pulse. We start CPR. My job was to push Epi and Atropine. 15 mins later we have a pulse and he survives.

That was my first code in a nutshell. It was definitely a lot crazier than that!!
