I was orienting a new grad to the ED. We had a pt that coded and died earlier in the day and the body was moved back to one of my rooms later in the day. The new grad didn’t notice that the body had moved to our room. I told the new grad that we had a new pt in 6 w/a headache so all the lights were off. She crept into the room quietly saying “I hear you have a headache” when he didn’t respond she pulled back the sheet and saw his lifeless face… she hasn’t gotten me back yet.
