This week we're throwing it back to one of our most popular episodes, Code Blue! In this episode, you will learn:

  • What are the different roles in the code team?
  • How do you know which role is best for you?
  • What happens at your hospital after the code?

We’ve all watched dramatic scenes on TV shows of Code Blue’s, but is it actually like they depict on TV?
