Emergency Department Nurses: Post Code Pause
ACON student Lynn Hauck presented her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project, Emergency Department Nurses: Post Code Pause, at her practice site’s EBP Fair. It was a wonderful opportunity to educate staff on the background, significance, and results of the DNP EBP project that implemented a post-code pause (PCP) intervention that debriefed emergency department nurses after participating in cardiac arrest events. Lynn encouraged ER nurses to remember, “don’t use a “Band-Aid” on your emotions, use the PCP debriefing after cardiopulmonary resuscitation”.
