The Nurse's Role When the Patient Is Crashing
A five-lesson introductory course designed specifically for nurses who want to improve their ability to respond to emergencies.
Always Bring Your A-Game
A course for nurses who want to respond to emergencies quickly and with a level head.

In this course, you'll learn:
- How to quickly decipher when your patient is stable or unstable
- What signs to look for that tell you a patient is declining
- How to keep yourself calm when tensions are high
- How and when to help without getting in the way
- How to advocate in a way that gets results

The Nurse Behind the Course
Sarah Lorenzini, MSN-ED, RN, CCRN, CEN
Hey there! I'm Sarah, a Rapid Response Nurse who loves telling stories to teach critical thinking.
When I designed this course, I included all the things I wish someone would have told me about responding to emergencies. I want to share with you all the tips, tricks, and concepts that took me years to fully obtain.
My nursing career started in the ER, and I have since worked in the Cardiac ICU, on the Rapid Response Team, taught as a Nursing Professor and ER Nurse Educator, and COVID brought me back to the bedside as a Rapid Response Nurse once again. I hold a Masters degree in Nursing Education and have my CCRN and CEN certifications. I have taught ACLS, PALS, and NRP, and have been a speaker at several nursing symposiums.
My podcast, "Rapid Response RN," is where I share real-life stories from the frontlines of nursing, as well as break down the pathophysiology, pharmacology, and the nurse's role in caring for that patient.
I am so passionate about using stories to teach difficult concepts and giving nurses the knowledge and tools they need to feel competent and confident when responding to emergencies, and I can't wait for you take this course and get the skills you need to succeed.

"The Rapid Response & Rescue course is a great tool if you're a new nurse, new to responding to medical emergencies, or just wanting to touch up your assessment skills. Sarah does a great job guiding you on how to think your way through your next rapid response. I wish I could have taken this course when I was new to emergency nursing!"
