 Hi guys! So as you can see by the title of this video, I had my first coat and it wasn't my patient technically. It was another nurse's patient in the ICU. But I wanted to kind of talk about it a little bit because I haven't really had a real coat my entire nursing career, which has only been a little more than a year. And I haven't had a coat my first seven weeks of orientation. And so I kept telling the nurse that I'm pre-septing with, I was like, I, if there's a coat, I need to go to it because I don't want to be on my own and have my first coat. So we were doing something in one of my patient's rooms and they called the coat. It was like five rooms down for me and I was like, bye! I'm going to the coat. And you guys are going to think I'm so weird or maybe not. Maybe some of you can relate. But not that I wanted any of my patients to coat. Not that I want that for the sake of my patient and their family members. So don't take it like that. But I wanted someone to coat for like the, I needed that experience. And not that I would wish it upon anyone or anything like that. But like I, like I wanted someone to coat so I could like go and be involved. And that makes me sound like a terrible person. But if you're like an ICU nurse or ER nurse or like an adrenaline person, you probably can relate is like you kind of thrive off of that like energy and like doing those things. So I've been waiting for code. I've been like not praying for one. That sounds so bad. But I've been anxiously waiting one. So it finally happened and I went in the room and I got right in there. I, we had to all gown up and wear masks because this patient was like spewing blood. It was very, very messy and very like not like in the movies. If you know what I mean, like it was like, oh my gosh, but I got right in there. I put the pads on. I didn't do any compressions because we had a lot of strong guys there and they're like, let's do this. Let's do compressions. And I stood right between the two intensivists. So one was on my right, one was on my left. So I was just soaking in all the information and they're talking out loud about like what could have happened, blah, blah, what they needed to do. I helped push meds. And overall, it was a really good experience to see how it works. There were so many people there helping. There were so many people involved and it just went really like smooth, if that makes sense. It's like, there was a method to the madness, if that makes sense. Like it was crazy, but it wasn't because everyone had a role and was doing things. We had people squeezing blood. We had people doing meds. We had people doing CPR. We had people bagging. The doctor was intubating. We had people doctoring the pulses. We had people going to get the blood. People going to find more meds. The pharmacist was the other manager, was there. There were so many people there. It was a very sad code in the end. The patient didn't make it. They had a lot of family in the room and the family was very rightfully so very, very emotional. And so it was very sad. But I'm glad I got that experience. And I'm a terrible person. I know, but I'm an adrenaline junkie and I really like, like those things. I know it's terrible. I would never wish that on anyone. I would never wish on anyone's family member. If any of you are watching this, you're like, oh my god, I'm offending you. I'm sorry. It's just, I'm an adrenaline junkie and I really enjoyed those situations. So that is my experience and I'm sure I'm gonna have a lot more. I talked to my, the preceptor that I was with and I was like, how many, like how often do you get codes? That was like the first question I pretty much asked. Like, how do you get codes here? And she's like, well, sometimes you'll do six a day and sometimes you won't do any for, you know, a couple of weeks, but you'll do enough of them here to where you feel comfortable enough when you do them. And like, you know what to do. So that was good. I'm glad I got that experience. Make sure you give this video a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel and I'll see you guys next time. Bye.
