Have you performed CPR?

Published

I just got my CPR certification yesterday and was curious how often it's used.

Have you performed CPR? If so, what type of floor do you work on?

Specializes in Med Surg/Tele/ER.

I have been a nurse since May....never been involved in a code or performed CPR....I work Med Surg btw. I don't mind telling you I am terrified at the thought...I keep thinking will I do it correctly. I know its just a matter of time..... :eek:

While I worked as a tech in the adult ICU/PCU, I was involved in plenty of codes and did CPR many times. I performed compressions on a man for 30mins one night; but he didn't make it. It was a really nasty code. I've also broken ribs while doing compressions, which is a really wierd feeling. However, since I've been an RN in the Navy I've been working in peds. So thank goodness no codes yet or cpr on kids yet.
