Code

Tonight just as we were getting ready to eat dinner we had a code. A dialysis inmate literally fell over dead as a nurse was talking to him. Us 4 nurses initiated CPR and did so for about 25 min before the ambulance came, who them attempted for 30 min before calling it. This wasn't my first death as a nurse, my first was a man who was declared medically futile, so tonight goes down in the books...

Sorry this happened to you, and especially in the middle of dinner.
