Not that anyone can tell when it would happen, but I'm super nervous about running a code. I sometimes take things really hard so there's no predicting how I'm going to take it either. Any advice?
I agree with the intent of the above post wholeheartedly.
However I'm not a fan of the "you can't make them more dead" line of thinking. Such thinking promotes throwing the book at these patients and providing interventions with no evidence. We do not know if these interventions actually make resuscitation or post ROSC care more challenging. While you could give every medication imagineable, that does not mean you should. Too many times I hear silly interventions justified with the "they won't get deader line."

It's not your emergency. Learn from any mistakes you make and move on.
and a heavy foot on the way to the hospital
Yeah, don't take that advice. You are more than likely having 3-4 providers in the back on the way to hospital. Let's not cause any unnecessary injuries. Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.
