Code Grey & Floating Mid-shift | Nurse Debriefing EP25

Cup Of Nurses

We are on debriefing no. 25, and it's been a fun ride! And we're reporting straight out of our night shift. We're coming off working the last two nights., and we're happy to flex our Cup of Nurse's unit merch! Check out the link to our shop below, grab your Cup of Nurses jackets and represent your unit!😎

For this episode, Matt was glad he didn't float too much, but he has some exciting stories to share. They pulled Matt mid-shift to transfer patients from the ICU and admit them individually for DOU. But the thing is, they wanted him to bring the patients without transporters, so he had to stand his ground and wait for the transporters to come. He ended up admitting two patients. 🤪

On that same night, Peter had code greys all shift. It was interesting because he was on my break the first time they called for code grey. Luckily, he had an excellent charge nurse. That night, this patient had two more Code Greys called on him. It was a little tense because this patient had nothing on him, no IV, wouldn't take PO, so we gave him IM Ativan, Haldol twice, and IM valium, but nothing seemed to work on this guy!
