So yesterday during work, I have a delivery to GLC. I chatted with one of the residents as I was entering, we talked about the heat wave and " I can't believe you do your job without A/c."
So, the girl that normally signs for me had left 15 minutes earlier and I go to the nearest nursing station to get a signature. One nurse tells me I have to wait, there's an emergency going on, then gets on the P.A. and annouces " All Nursing Staff, Code Blue... room X"
this is the first time experiencing this, nurses sprinting down the hallways and panic in their eyes, grabbing oxygen carts and calling 911... one of the nurses rushing was one that signs for me occasionally. I got a sig and left before emergency staff showed up.
today I talked with the nurse that was responding to the alert, I asked what was a Code Blue, she explained that it meant a person has died and requires life saving measures. She lost that effort. I don't think I could ever do that job and told her so. I want to thank all the people that provide those services. My job without A/c isn't jack compared to the handling of our Elderly.
