Certified Nurse but Panicking During a Code? You’re Not Alone—Here’s How to Feel Ready (With Susan Davis)

Not gonna lie… most of us are “certified” but still low-key panicking when a real code pops off. 😅 This episode with Susan B. Davis, DNP, RN, EMT-P (Rescue RN + the brain behind CodePRep) is all about closing the gap between knowing the basics and actually feeling ready to use them. We get into why traditional mock codes aren’t cutting it, what actually builds confidence (hint: quick, hands-on reps), and how empowered teams = better outcomes. If you’ve ever frozen in a high-stakes moment, this one’s for you. ⚡🫶>>Certified Nurse but Panicking During a Code?
