As a nursing student or new grad nurse, the thought of your patient taking a turn for the worse is really scary. In this special bonus episode I’m joined by Sarah Lorenzini from the podcast Rapid Response RN. Sarah talks you through “calling a rapid” on your patient, what to expect from the rapid response nurse, and what to do if you’re the first one on the scene when your patient codes!

After this episode, not only will you be a huge fan of Sarah’s, but you’ll hopefully feel more confident handling deteriorating patients.
