Don't be scared, be prepared!

Abstract

This project was completed to demonstrate that mock code blues and rapid responses improve nurse's confidence and competence in actual emergent events. Quick response times and confidence in appropriate actions taken by nursing staff are vital to patient outcomes during rapid responses and code blues. It was discovered that new and seasoned nurses alike do not feel confident in running or being part of rapid responses and code blues.
