Some student unit secretaries may be teens, or they may be adults doing their clinical.
My motto has always been to let them "become me" and not simply watch me. The students I trained never got to see the "good stuff" they used to say to me. They barely saw a Code Blue happen. They usually came in on the tail end of open-heart surgery.
To mediate that, if there was a Code Blue on our sister floor, I would take them. Of course, they wouldn't be in the room in the way, but they would be close enough to see some action.
That's the nature of the beast of a hospital. It can be nice and quiet for hours and then the shit hits the fan.
Train the student Unit Secretaries to be you so that they'll be ready just like you are.
