I am joined again by my good friend, Joe Bellezzo, to discuss the nurse-led code. I've been doing this at my two shops for about a decade. Joe, along with his partners-in-crime Zack Shinar & Chris Ho, have set up a beautiful process for nurse led code management at their hospital, Sharp Memorial in San Diego.
